Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond is headed into the last year of his contract with Detroit and will likely be signing a lucrative contract in the off-season.
Raymond's first year with the Wings as he put up 57 points in 82 games. This season Raymond hit career highs across the board with 72 points including 31 were goals.
Steve Yzerman has a lot of cap space this summer which means they should be able to get something done with Raymond this summer, the Wings currently have $26.5 million in free cap space.
Detroit has a cap space for the 2024-25 NHL season of $26.5 million so they do have the cash to pay him. However, they do have other players in need of being signed and they may still want to grab a free agent or two to upgrade the roster. - Jelinek
If the Wings are able to sign Raymond, it will be around $7 million per year for 5 years which would be a great deal as he is constantly improving.
