Red Wings Ship Lombardi to Devils
The Detroit Red Wings traded Grand Rapids Griffins center Amadeus Lombardi to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft choice. Lombardi, a 23-year-old who was originally selected 113th overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, posted a career-high 42 points this season but faced impending restricted free agency on July 1 and would have needed to clear waivers if Detroit attempted to return him to the minors next season. The trade addressed those looming contractual and roster management complications for the Red Wings.
