Red Wings Free Agency: Viktor Arvidsson Signs | Yzerman's Matt Boldy Response Says Everything -
The Detroit Red Wings made their biggest splash of NHL Free Agency by signing Viktor Arvidsson to a 2-year, $5 million AAV contract. Steve Yzerman also re-signed Carter Mazur on a 2-year, $875,000 AAV deal and added goaltender Daniil Tarasov on a 1-year, $2 million contract. In today's 7 Minute Wings, I break down each move and discuss what they could mean for Detroit moving forward. The Tarasov signing is especially interesting, as the Red Wings already have several goaltenders in the organization. Could this signal another move is coming? I also discuss the report that Steve Yzerman responded to Minnesota's interest in Dylan Larkin by asking for Matt Boldy in return. While a Boldy-for-Larkin trade appears extremely unlikely, the reported response sends an important message: Yzerman isn't interested in making a trade just for the sake of making one. If Dylan Larkin is moved, it appears Detroit will only do it for a return that significantly improves the organization. As always, I'd lo
