    Dude earned his contract after last season. Glad he’s sticking around for a while!

    Mo, you’re up next! Lock him in!

    As others have all said, very important to get Lucas on the 8 year deal because there’s a good chance he’s underpaid during the second half of the contract. Glad he was always on the same long term page!

    The only thing better than having good young players is having good young players who REALLY want to stay. Raymond had the chance to force a shorter term deal to maximize his earning potential a la Toronto’s RFAs, but he chose not to. Waiting us out paid off for him though and earned himself some extra money on this deal as opposed to signing it before last season and ended up right in the expected range for the going rate of a talented young winger.

    It took way too long to get some young elite talent. So pumped for Ray.

    I mean detroit isn’t horrible. I can see why Walman made his comments though.

    Pros: You live in birmingham and have a pretty nice winter, it isn’t usually edmonton horrible but you get 4 seasons. You have privacy for your family, hockey is obvously the #3 sport in michigan, maybe #4, so you don’t get noticed a ton while out doing things. Facility is amazing, own the team plane, and you get appreciated by fans when you do well. Hence he probably loves it. I’m sure there are other places that work too, but we have a decent hockey city.

    Cons: Fans are getting antsy for a winning season, one minute we love a player, next we hate. Lots of fans don’t understand hockey and get angry when things go bad. Finally our management is a bunch of 90’s stars and seem to be extremely serious about players and making sure they are following everything they say to a T, which isn’t bad but I’m sure the leeway is small.

    All in all, I don’t think we have a bad city to play in, we aren’t as great as tampa with warm weather and no sales tax, but we aren’t winnipeg with cold all year round and canada taxes.

    Long winded, tldr is he should be happy and he got paid.

    I’ve been watching the Red Wings for a long time. I’ve had many favorite players before — #19, #5, #40, #14 (x2) — but the excitement that I both saw from Raymond *and* that he provided me at the end of last season makes me think #23 might be the first Red Wings jersey I actually order up and wear to a game. Kid has such an awesome energy to him.

    I hope this is a complete knock-out year for him.

    He has another gear we haven’t seen yet.
