The Detroit Red Wings have signed defenseman Moritz Seider to a seven-year, $59.85 million contract with an annual average value of $8.55 million. Seider, a 23-year-old restricted free agent, missed the first day of training camp but is now secured as a key player for the Red Wings. He has 134 points in 246 career games and won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie in 2021-22. This deal follows the recent signing of forward Lucas Raymond to an eight-year, $64.6 million contract. Seider is now the second-highest paid player on the team, only behind captain Dylan Larkin. The Red Wings aim to break their playoff drought, with Seider and Raymond being central to these efforts.
