Detroit – Tomas Tatar is staying with the Red Wings.
The restricted free agent agreed to a four-year contract worth $21.2 million – a salary cap hit of $5.3 million per season.
Tatar and the Red Wings had a salary arbitration hearing Thursday, and a decision was forthcoming by Saturday by an arbitrator.
But the two sides were able to work out an agreement on their own.
Ironically, the Red Wings turned in a salary figure of $4.1 million for arbitration – while Tatar’s camp turned in $5.3 million (what the average salary cap hit turned out to be).
