The Detroit Red Wings completed a trade that sent forward Sutter Muzzatti to the Nashville Predators, with the team receiving only future considerations in exchange.
A Physical Presence for the Griffins
Standing between 6‑foot‑5 and 6‑foot‑8, Muzzatti brings a rare combination of size and offensive skill to the Grand Rapids Griffins, the Red Wings’ AHL affiliate.
During the 2023‑24 college season he recorded 13 goals and 19 assists in 37 games for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, while also accumulating 42 penalty minutes, the second‑most of his collegiate career.
A New Deal in Detroit
Muzzatti signed a two‑year entry‑level contract with Detroit, a agreement that will see him report to Grand Rapids for the upcoming season as the club looks to reshape its center depth.
The transaction follows the departure of longtime general manager Steve Yzerman, marking the first substantive move by the organization since his exit and underscoring the team’s early steps in a rebuild.
With several centers leaving the lineup, including the recent trade of Elmer Soderblom, Muzzatti’s arrival offers the Griffins a tall, skilled option who could help fill the void and provide depth at the professional level.
