The dust is beginning to settle in day one of free agency in the NHL, so we’re here to have a look back at what the Red Wings did, and how we feel about it. Making headlines was defenseman Trevor Daley signing a three-year deal after two seasons of hoisting with the Pittsburgh Penguins. We’ll start there.
Trevor Daley - Three years, $9.5 million
I think most of us expected a lot worse here. I was anticipating a deal to the tune of four years worth $16 million. The Red Wings get an affordable veteran defender who can still skate and contribute on the power-play.
