The Detroit Red Wings have signed restricted free agent defenceman Moritz Seider to a seven-year contract worth $59.85 million. The deal, announced on Thursday, carries an annual average value (AAV) of $8.55 million. This contract keeps Seider's salary below that of teammate Dylan Larkin, who earns $8.7 million AAV. General Manager Steve Yzerman ensured the salary structure remains intact, keeping Seider's AAV under the team's cap high-water mark. The agreement ensures Seider remains a key part of the Red Wings' defense for the foreseeable future.
