A proposed trade suggests the Detroit Red Wings acquire Spencer Knight from the Florida Panthers in exchange for prospect Carter Gylander and two third-round picks (2026 and 2027).

Spencer Knight, drafted 13th overall in 2019, is one of the NHL's top goaltending prospects but remains blocked by Sergei Bobrovsky in Florida.
Spencer Knight, currently in the second year of a three-year, $13.5 million deal, could address Detroit's lack of a true No. 1 goalie. The Red Wings have struggled in net, with Ville Husso, Cam Talbot, Alex Lyon, and Jack Campbell competing for the starting role.
After entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program in 2022-23 for OCD treatment, Knight spent the 2023-24 season in the AHL. He's eager to return to form and become an NHL starter. For Florida, acquiring Gylander and draft picks offers future assets, while Detroit could land their goalie of the future.
