Today another trade has gone down that will impact the 2024 NHL Draft this time involving the Nashville Predators and Detroit Red Wings.

The Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators have made a trade just days before the NHL Draft commences. The Red Wings will send Andrew Gibson to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Jesse Kiiskinen and a 2024 2nd-round pick.
TRADE: #Preds acquire D Andrew Gibson from #LGRW for Jesse Kiiskinen and a 2024 2nd round pick (#53)
UPDATE: The #RedWings today acquired a 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft (originally Tampa's) and forward Jesse Kiiskinen from the Nashville Predators in exchange for Andrew Gibson.
The Nashville Predators add size to their defense with a 6'3 right-handed defenseman in Andrew Gibson. He was a second-round selection in last year's draft. In the OHL this season Andrew Gibson put up 44 points in 68 games.
In return the Detroit Red Wings get back Jesse Kiiskinen who was a 3rd round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft. He had a successful year in Finnish Liiga with 10 points in 38 games. They also land a second-round pick in this year's draft as well.
The Red Wings were able to use some of their prospect flexibility and strength on defense to pick up an extra selection in this year's draft. The Nashville Predators on the other hand continue building their defensive prospect pool with smoot skating big defensemen.
As the years go by this will be a fun trade to look back at and evaluate.
