The Detroit Red Wings have been active to start NHL Free Agency, namely signing Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year deal. Later on July 1, they connected on a trade with a Western Conference foe.
What does the signing of Arvidsson mean for the Red Wings?
The Detroit Red Wings just signed Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year deal; it’s one of those signings that says a lot without making a huge noise. This doesn’t really feel like a rebuild move or some long-term “wait and see” project.
Shortly after the opening of the NHL’s unrestricted free agency window at 12:00 PM Eastern on Wednesday, reports emerged, including from Emily Kaplan of ESPN, that the Detroit Red Wings have signed veteran winger Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year contract.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.

A horrible Game 4 has gotten even worse for the Boston Bruins. Not only were the Bruins blown out in their own building 6-1 to the Buffalo Sabres to fall down 3-1 in their first round series of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday, they’ve also taken a hit to their lineup with winger Viktor Arvidsson exiting the game with an upper-body injury.
