The Minnesota Wild acquired veteran forward Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Red Wings.

The Minnesota Wild traded for veteran forward Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations. Tarasenko, 33, struggled last season with 33 points but is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and four-time All-Star. The trade allows the Red Wings to free up cap space and focus on younger talent, while the Wild add a proven scorer to their lineup. Tarasenko has one year left on his contract at $4.75 million.
