The Detroit Red Wings traded the 33-year-old veteran forward to the Minnesota Wild on Monday in exchange for future draft picks to be determined later.

For the upcoming season, Tarasenko will earn $4.75 million. The forward won his championships with the St. Louis Blues and the Florida Panthers a year ago.
