Here's the average contract for a Detroit Red Wings player
The Detroit Red Wings are poised to contend in the 2024-25 NHL season, bolstered by their emerging young talent.
Only 20 of the 23 players are under contract, with Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider yet to finalize their extensions. Seider's deal is projected to be around $8.42 million, based on comparable contracts like those of Owen Power and Brock Faber. Raymond's contract is expected to be around $7.5 million.
Adding these projected figures to the Red Wings' current cap hit of $70,351,806, the team's total projected cap hit would be approximately $86,276,806. Dividing this by the 22 players with contracts, the average salary comes out to around $3.92 million. If a 23rd player is added at about $800,000, the average salary adjusts to about $3.785 million. Averaging these figures, the projected average salary for a Red Wings player in 2024-25 is approximately $3.85 million.
