Per The Athletic’s Craig Custance:
Red Wings have indeed signed goalie Harri Sateri, as first reported by @andystrickland. Arguably the best name on the market.

One-year deal for Sateri.

Update: MLive’s Ansar Khan confirms:
The Detroit Red Wings signed goaltender Harri Sateri to a one-year contract Sunday.
Sateri, 28, is expected to be the top goalie for the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins. Free agent Patik Rybar will serve as the back-up in all likelihood.
Sateri went 4-4-0, with a 2.92 goals-against average and .911 save percentage last season with the Florida Panthers. He spent most of the season with AHL Springfield, going 14-9-1, with a 2.30 GAA and .927 save percentage.
He spent three seasons in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League prior to that.
