Red Wings sign defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere to a new deal.
The Detroit Red Wings add veteran defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere on the first day of free agency.
The Detroit Red Wings have been busy on the opening day of free agency and this latest signing may be their biggest one yet.
According to a report from National Hockey League insider Pierre LeBrun, the Red Wings have signed veteran defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere to a new one year deal. That deal will be valued at $4.13 million, and given that this is a one year deal it will have a matching cap hit.
Gostisbehere is coming off a season that was split between the Carolina Hurricanes and Arizona Coyotes, one in which he appeared in a combined 75 games and recorded 13 goals and 28 assists for a total of 41 points. Gostisbehere also participated in the Hurricanes' playoff run, appearing in 15 Stanley Cup playoff games and picking up 3 points, all assists, in the process.
Although this deal carries a significant price tag, it remains a relatively low risk option for the Red Wings given that this is only a one year deal.
