Despite the quieter period in the current NHL off-season, there's significant buzz around the Detroit Red Wings' restricted free agents (RFAs). Notably, Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond remain unsigned, creating a hot topic in NHL rumours.

Seider's Status: According to Sportsnet's Luke Fox and Rory Boylen, Seider will likely command around $8.6 million annually, aligning with contracts given to players like Owen Power and Rasmus Dahlin. This deal would provide Seider substantial compensation and stability, benefiting him and the Red Wings long-term. This cap hit would also allow the team some flexibility to secure Raymond's deal.
Raymond's Status: For Lucas Raymond, Yzerman is considering a bridge or middle-term contract, avoiding long-term commitments that could be restrictive. Given the past challenges with big contracts, Yzerman aims to navigate these negotiations carefully. While Raymond might face a shorter deal, it could set him up for a more lucrative contract if he continues to excel.
Overall, while negotiations are ongoing, both Seider and Raymond are expected to sign soon, with deals reflecting their pivotal roles in the team's future.
