The Daily: Will Raymond Be Signed by Opening Day? Jumbo Joe To Mentor Celebrini

It is always difficult to predict how an NHL player’s contract negotiations will unfold, but no one was predicting the Red Wings and Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider would have difficulty reaching agreement this summer.

The Red Wings want to sign the two young players to long-term deals. Both players want to stay with the Red Wings.

But now with NHL season just over a month away, Raymond’s agent has reported there has been no progress in the Raymond contract talks.  There’s been no official word from the Moritz Seider camp, but there have been whispers that some progress has been made.

Whether that leads to a resolution of a new deal soon remains to be seen. For the first time, there is worry that the players will be unsigned when the season starts. These two players are critical to any hope for the Red Wings to qualify for the playoffs.

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

Lucas Raymond‘s agent reports there has been no progress in his client’s contract negotiations with the Red Wings.

Shai Buium, Nate Danielson and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard are on Detroit’s roster for the Rookie series games against the Dallas Stars in Traverse City. They two teams will play games on Sept. 14 and 15.

Defenseman Axel Sandin-Pellikka, a 2023 Detroit first-round pick, has recovered nicely from his injury.
