The Minnesota Wild added an aging All-Star in a trade with the Detroit Red Wings on Monday. The Wild swapped future considerations for 33-year-old Vladimir Tarasenko, the team announced.

Steve Yzerman extricated the Detroit Red Wings from a contract that hadn't remotely paid off, clearing cap space and a roster spot. Vladimir Tarasenko, a free agent signing from last summer, was traded to the Minnesota Wild on Monday, June 30, the day before the start of NHL free agency.

With a thin free-agent market, the 33-year-old Tarasenko checks off one box for the Wild before the frenzy begins in earnest.
