TO DETROIT

K Korchinski (top 10 pick from 2022)
D Clara (2nd rndr, goalie)
AJ Spellacy (3rd rounder, almost made the Hawks)

TO DUCKS

Rust (76)
Full cheese

I drafted Korchinski and don't love trading him right now as I like his potential but dmen just take longer to develop.

I have a good team right now and can't wait 3 yrs for him to improve, so made a move to bolster my LW position which has been a weakness since trading Kaprizov before the year started.

Rust is a historically strong SIM performer and he bolsters our depth immediately.

Next year I'll be weak on LW again. The Perfetti trade hasn't really panned out, so Rust and his contract next year helps solve a problem this yr and next.

Thanks Detroit for the deal.
