Steve Yzerman’s offseason checklist is complete.
It was announced early Tuesday that the Red Wings had signed RFA forward Givani Smith to a two-year contract extension. What remained unclear for several hours was how much that contract would be valued at. Our friends at CapFriendly leaked those details:
Givani Smith #RedWings
2 year / 1 way contract
$750,000 AAV
2021-22: $750,000
2022-23: $750,000
Smith will be an RFA with Arb rights when his new deal expires in 2023.https://t.co/eilrSvtOPc— CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) September 14, 2021Smith didn’t get nearly enough playing time last season, I think most Red Wings fans can agree with that.
