Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has committed to the franchise with an eight-year contract extension signed in March 2023, valued at $69.6 million. This deal, averaging $8.7 million per year, establishes him as the highest-paid player and the face of the team for the foreseeable future. Larkin's contract acknowledges his consistent production and crucial leadership role.
Complementing Larkin, winger Lucas Raymond inked an identical eight-year extension in September 2024. This agreement is worth $64.6 million, with an average annual value of $8.075 million. While slightly less in annual value than Larkin's, Raymond's deal secures a top-six offensive cornerstone through his prime years.
