Biggest NHL rumors of the moment, and they concern Detroit Red Wings players
NHL rumors rundown for players like Mortiz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Patrik Laine and others.
The Detroit Red Wings are closing in on an eight-year extension for Moritz Seider, expected to be worth around $8.6 million annually, making him the highest-paid defenseman on the team. For Lucas Raymond, a shorter-term deal similar to Alex DeBrincat's four-year, $7.875 million contract seems likely, with Raymond expressing a strong desire to stay in Detroit.
Dallas Stars GM Jim Nill is considering a bridge deal for Thomas Harley, who has one full NHL season and lacks arbitration rights. With key veterans signed and recent additions to the blue line, securing Harley will bolster the defense.
On the trade front, interest in Patrik Laine remains low, with only one team inquiring. Laine's $8 million AAV and no-trade list complicate matters.
Michael McLeod has signed with Barys Astana in the KHL amid ongoing legal issues related to an alleged 2018 incident.
