Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond has agreed to a long-term extension with the team, signing up for eight more years on a contract worth $64.6 million. The salary cap hit on Raymond's contract will stand at $8.075 million. The 22-year-old was a restricted free agent after coming off a three-year entry-level deal. Raymond bounced back from a down year in 2023-24, scoring a team-high 72 points (31 goals, 41 assists) in 82 outings. Through 238 career games, the Swedish winger boasts 174 points (71 goals, 103 assists). After being selected as the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft, Raymond has developed into one of the Red Wings' best players, but he should still have plenty more room to grow.
Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond outscored everybody in Thursday's highly entertaining matchup against Pittsburgh, netting a hat trick and adding an assist in a 6-5 overtime loss. Raymond averaged a point per game through the first few outings of the month and found a way to take his performance to an even higher level on Thursday in a crucial clash between two teams that are desperately trying to secure a postseason berth.

In 79 appearances, Raymond has tallied 29 goals and 39 assists.

Raymond was quiet in the team's season opener against New Jersey, producing only one shot on goal in close to 15 minutes of action, and Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde has been quick to tweak his top six. As a result of the move, Raymond links up with Detroit's two top forwards, Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin, which gives his fantasy stock a boost. Perron is still expected to remain on the first power-play unit, though.
Detroit Red Wings left wing Lucas Raymond is looking forward to facing higher expectations in 2023-24. "Last season, I think we took a step as a team, moved in the right direction, and coming into this season we're taking an even bigger step," Raymond told NHL.com. "Expectations are getting higher for the team but also for myself, which is a lot of fun." The Red Wings reached 80 points for the first time in seven seasons last term and will definitely want to improve further after bringing in some key additions over the summer. A better team in overall quality should help Raymond to produce a bounce-back campaign. The 21-year-old was in a sophomore slump for most of 2022-23, settling for 45 points (17 goals, 28 assists) in 74 games.

Lucas Raymond Hits A Wall Against Washington Thursday
