The Detroit Red Wings send forward Ville Leino to the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a 2011 5th round pick.
The Red Wings immediately placed Tollefsen on waivers, as the Wings need a roster spot and to clear some cap space. Johan Franzen, among other could be returning soon, and the Wings would have been over the cap.
Leino has 7 points in 42 games this season, and is a -10. Last season in 13 games, he had 9 points.
Tollefsen has 2 assists in 18 games this year. In 163 career games he has 12 points and 296 penalty minutes.
