Steve Yzerman crossed off another big summer chore from his list this weekend. The team is re-signing RFA forward Adam Erne to a two-year extension worth around $4.2 million.
Erne and the Red Wings were set to go to arbitration on August 21st. The 26-year-old winger showed that he is a valuable piece to the team’s bottom-six, and has potential as a secondary scorer if the injury bug hits.
Steve Yzerman acquired Adam Erne from his former team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, for a 4th-round pick in August of 2019.
