The Detroit Red Wings and Lucas Raymond<\/a> have a new contract in place. Raymond is locked in for the next eight years<\/a> and he will have an AAV of $8.075 million. The Red Wings continue to establish their young core and keep building. <\/span><\/p>\n

Raymond Signs New Contract With Red Wings <\/span><\/h2>\n

The Yzerplan keeps growing and coming together. Unfortunately it has seen key pieces depart, such as Tyler Bertuzzi<\/a>. However, the team keeps building and locking up its young core longer term. The first order of business was locking up captain Dylan Larkin<\/a>, but landing Raymond to a new deal is huge going forward. Given the pieces that are in the fold, the team has tremendous depth up front.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the coming out party for Raymond, as he popped off for a career season. During the 2023-24 season, Raymond went on to score a career high<\/a> 31 goals and 72 points. Since entering the league in the 2021-22 season, he has never finished below 40 points and has surpassed the 20 goal mark twice. <\/span><\/p>\n

This was a huge year for Raymond and he lands a lucrative deal because of it. Raymond is a huge piece for the Red Wings and becomes a nucleus of what they are building. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Wings Outlook With the New Contract<\/span><\/h3>\n

This Raymond contract is great for both sides. The Red Wings continue building forward and getting on the right path towards being a playoff team. They came very close this season and having Raymond in the fold helps ensure that. Raymond becomes a huge scoring threat for the Red Wings for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

As for Raymond, he can put the business side behind him and build off his career season. It\u2019s great for Detroit as a whole and should be great to see what the 2024-25 season brings. <\/span><\/p>\n
