In Red Wings Land

COVID-19 continues to have impact on Red Wings, NHL - Detroit News

The NHL sent a memo to all 32 teams Monday effectively canceling all holiday parties, in addition to public engagements, charity events and autograph sessions.

New Jersey Devils Sign Jack Hughes to 8 Season, $64 Million Extension - All About the Jersey

Hughes needed a new contract as this season was the final one in his entry level contract. Doubters and critics may claim that Hughes has not done enough to warrant this much money. I say that Hughes is only going to get better from what he is and what little he showed this season suggests strongly that he is going to take a massive leap. Should he hit his vaunted potential, an $8 million cap hit will be an absolute bargain.

Lots of ifs in there, but hey I’m ok believing.
