Red Wings are reportedly signing with the Red Wings.

Contract details are TBD

So who is probably the loser here? Sprong?

On PP2 ya. But it could also be a hit for Raymond if they decide to go Kane-Larkin-Debrincat

Didn't they already split Larkin and Debrincat though? You think they'll run back to that with Kane?

They did recently ya. I'm sure it will be constantly changing.

I think I'd prefer someone/Larkin/Raymond and then Debrincat/Compher/Kane

Sprong wears #88 in Detroit too, I wonder how attached he is to that number.

I'd assume Kane will be paired with DeBrincat at one point. Which would have Rasmussen demoted off the DeBrincat-Compher-Rasmussen line.

And it sounds like it's a 1yr deal (not a surprise though). Waiting on the dollar figure still.

[hockeyrobot]

Im sure I'm just getting my hopes up....but I feel like it's more likely he just won't hold up and end up on LTIR.

[PenguinHunter]

This is exciting for Detroit.

Hopefully see them back in the playoffs and making a run.

[hockeyrobot]

Wings play Rangers tonight and Hawks on Thursday. Im sure he won't be playing....but just funny to see.

[2014olympicgold]

1yr, $2.75m deal is the reported contract.

Depending on when the contract is officially registered, he'll make a shade over $2m.

Seravalli is saying 2 things were big in getting Kane to Detroit:
1. Yzerman flew to Toronto to meet with him face-to-face
2. Redwings broke up the Cat/Larkin/Raymond line last week to start the process of a DeBrincat/Kane Reunion.

This is what Seravalli said, I dunno if the 2nd point quite makes sense lol.

Yeah, that 2nd point sounds contrived. It might make sense if one of them was a center.

My spidey senses say that this is going to be it. Two solid scoring lines.

[RizzeeDizzee]

I think the biggest winner in all this is Compher. When all is said and done he might be the leading scorer among the entire 2023 UFA class.

[2014olympicgold]

Considering Compher's UFA opponents are ROR and Ghostbear, I would say ya he's got a good chance at being the top point producing 2023 UFA signing.
