Sportsnet’s Ryan Dixon asks an “off-season question” for every team in the NHL’s Eastern Conference, and here’s what he believes that the Red Wings must address:
Detroit Red Wings: Can they get Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond locked up? Detroit’s best two young players — and two of its best players, full stop — are RFAs in need of new contracts. Wings GM Steve Yzerman is a tough negotiator, but you have to believe the Detroit faithful hope he and the players come together on deals that will keep Seider and Raymond in the Motor City through their 20s.
Continued; I have no concerns as to whether Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider will be re-signed before the start of the 2024-2025 season. Steve Yzerman is a tough negotiator, but he’s stated that signing Raymond and Seider is job #1, and I believe that the team will get the job done.
