The Detroit Red Wings have officially begun to sell.
On Sunday afternoon, the Red Wings announced they have traded defenseman Troy Stecher to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.
Stecher, 27, has missed much of the 2021–22 season due to injury but has two points (one goal, one assist) in 16 games played with the Red Wings this year.

After this trade, the Red Wings now have 10 selections at the 2022 NHL Draft:
- DET 2022 1st
- DET 2022 2nd
- WSH 2022 2nd
- DET 2022 3rd
