Detroit Red Wings Make Multiple Offseason Signings to Bolster Roster
J.T. Compher signs a five-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings worth $5.1 million per year. While Compher is a versatile player who earned the trust of his coach and played in all situations for the Avalanche, his production has been inconsistent, making the contract an overpay for bottom-six numbers. However, Compher's defensive skills and expanded role as a second-line center make it a solid contract if he can maintain his performance. The signing raises questions about the Red Wings' direction, as they should focus on addressing their offense first. Contract grade: C-, Fit grade: B.
