The Vancouver Canucks have traded defenseman Alex Biega to the Detroit Red Wings for winger David Pope, the Red Wings announced Sunday.
Biega, a 31-year-old right-handed shot, played 41 games with the Canucks in 2018-19, registering 16 points. Drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the fifth round of the 2006 draft, Biega has 179 NHL games under his belt.
Pope, a fourth-round pick of Detroit in 2013, split time between the AHL and ECHL last season. He only managed three points in 28 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins but mustered 13 points in 20 playoff contests with the Toledo Walleye.
