Report: Red Wings working to move Jurco

Sometimes a change of scenery is the easiest solution.

That appears to the be the case with Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Jurco, as Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman writes that it "sounds like (Jurco) wants a new opportunity and Detroit is trying to find a match."

Jurco has appeared in 11 games with the Red Wings this season but has not recorded any points. He scored six points in 44 games with Detroit last season, and tallied nine points through five contests with Grand Rapids, the Red Wings' AHL affiliate.

A one-time second-round pick, Jurco was drafted with high acclaim, but hasn't met those expectations through his early goings in the NHL. In the end, a clean slate could be the perfect scenario for both sides.
