Breaking: Red Wings sign one of their top prospects to short term deal.

The Detorit Red Wings have locked up what many view as one of the club's elite prospects  Teemu Pulkkinen to a one year deal. The Red Wings released this statement via their official website:

The Detroit Red Wings today agreed to terms with right wing Teemu Pulkkinen on a one-year contract. In accordance with club policy, additional details will not be disclosed. Pulkkinen split his second full season in North America between the Red Wings and the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins. The 23-year-old forward tallied eight points (5-3-8) in 31 games with Detroit, notching his first NHL goal on Jan. 20 versus Minnesota. Despite appearing in only 46 games with the Griffins, Pulkkinen won the AHL’s Willie Marshall Award as the league’s top goal-scorer and was named an AHL First-Team All-Star with 61 points (34-27-61). He ranked second on the Griffins in scoring and tied for 10th overall in the league. The 5-foot-10, 185-lb., winger also led the AHL in goals during the 2015 AHL Calder Cup Playoffs, while helping the Griffins reach the Western Conference Finals for the second time in three seasons with 18 points (14-4-18) in 16 games.

Pullkinnen got his first real taste of NHL action when he appeared in 31 games for Detroit last season(he previously had 3 games as a Wing) and it's now expected he will be a full time Red Wing next season.
