When the Detroit Red Wings inked Gustav Nyquist to a four-year deal worth $19 million, a number of things were indicated once Nyquist’s scribbled his signature across the dotted line. I narrowed it down to four distinct points:
- Gustav Nyquist is undeniably part of the younger Red Wings core
- A hefty raise places his importance higher than some pundits speculated
- Tomas Jurco and Teemu Pulkkinen shouldn’t expect significant raises
- Someone is going to get dealt with a glut of forwards angling to make the roster
Wings have The Golden Goose
It wasn’t as if this was a secret.
