LaSalle native Andrew Gibson is moving further away from home as he was traded from the Detroit Red Wings.

AM800 reports the Red Wings acquired forward Jesse Kiiskinen, along with a second-round pick at this year’s draft, from the Nashville Predators for Gibson, a defensive prospect.

Gibson was picked in the second round by Detroit in 2023. He signed a three-year, entry level contract with the team in April.

He had 12 goals and 44 points this year in 68 games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
