Lucas Raymond poised to earn massive contract
The Detroit Red Wings young talented star is set to earn a massive contract following his huge contributions to the team.
It's no secret that the Detroit Red Wings fell one game short of making it to the 2024 NHL post season, ultimately losing their wildcard spot to the Washington Capitals. But in a season that was filled with short comings and disappointment, one shining star for the Red Wings was the young Swedish forward, Lucas Raymond.
Lucas Raymond's contract is set to expire, where he was signed to a three year entry deal valued at over $925,000 AAV per season, but his fortunes are soon going to change and he has earned a huge contract extension. But the big question is, what will it cost general manager Steve Yzerman to keep Raymond on board?
Sources are speculating that Raymond is seeking a maximum contract and a bridge deal seems to be out of the question. If Lucas Raymond gets the contract he is hoping for, we could see the young star earning a massive 7-8 year contract valued at over $7 million AAV per season. This will not be an easy task for Steve Yzerman, but he is the man to get it done.
