RED WINGS SIGN RAYMOND TO 8-YEAR DEAL

Lucas Raymond, forward

The Detroit Red Wings have signed restricted free agent forward Lucas Raymond to an eight-year, $64.6 million contract, as first reported by TFP’s David Pagnotta.

Pagnotta reported on NHL Network that the two sides were working towards a long-term extension, and the Red Wings and Raymond finalized their new deal, which comes with an $8.075 million average annual value, less than an hour later.

Raymond, 22, tallied 31 goals and 41 assists for 72 points in 82 games with the Red Wings last season, the final year of his three-year, entry-level contract.

Raymond will earn $8.075 million in salary in each of the eight-years of his new contract and owns a 10-team no-trade list as part of his deal in the final four years of the agreement.
