THUNDER BAY -- Marc Staal is on his way from Broadway to the Motor City.
The veteran NHL defenceman on Saturday was dealt by the New York Rangers to the Detroit Red Wings, along with a second-round pick in 2021, in return for future considerations.
Staal, 33, has spent his entire NHL career with the Rangers, scoring 43 goals and adding 145 assists for 188 points in 892 contests.
The Thunder Bay native has played the sixth-most games in franchise history, and helped the Rangers advance to the 2014 Stanley Cup final, where they lost to the champion Los Angeles Kings.
He's the second Staal brother to be traded this summer. Older brother Eric was sent to Buffalo earlier this month in return for Marcus Johansson.
