Around the NHL - Detroit Red Wings traded five players this week in an attempt to revitalize the team for the remaining dozen games. Least surprising was the departure of Reed Larsen, he had been unhappy in Detroit and made no effort to hide the fact. Larsen moved on to Boston in return for Mike O'Connell. Larsen may secure a playoff spot for the Bruins and will likely play with a renewed desire to win. Wings sent Ron Duguay to Pitt- sburgh in return for Doug Shedden. The former Penguin centre is a 30 goal scorer, something the Wings need. He is not however, an aggressive for- ward, something Wings also require. Detroit sent defensemen John Barrett and Greg Smith to Washington in exchange for unproven defenseman Darren Veitch. Over the past five seasons with the Capitals, Veitch had played 257 games and scored 131 points. He did have a good season with Regina during his last Junior year, but the jury is still out on Veitch. On the other hand Smith and Barrett should play well in Washington. Greg Smith has ten solid seasons of ex- perience to draw on, another plus for the top-notch Washington club.. The other player dealt by the Wings this week was center Dwight Foster. The Bruins, looking for a replacement for the departed Fergus and Derlago, have picked up a first-rounder (their own in 1977). 'In return, the Bruins sent minor league forward Dave Donnelly to the Red Wings. Donnelly scored well in the Alberta Junior League and he doesn't mind the heavy going. He may be a good addition to the Wings down the road, if he will play for them. When Boston lost Foster to Colorado in 1981 they received compensation that turned out to be Gord Kluzak and Brian Curran. Now Bruins have their first-pick player back, without giving up very much. Well done Mr. Sinden! A reported deal that failed to go through on Monday had- Vancouver players Richard Brodeur, J.J. Daigneault, and Cam Neely going to Philadelphia for Bob Froese and Tim Kerr! The deal apparently went sour when the Canucks asked for more. Hard to believe.
