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.

Red Wings Bolster Roster with Compher, Holl, and Luff Signings

The Detroit Red Wings have signed free-agent center J.T. Compher to a five-year contract with an average annual value of $5.1 million. Compher, who spent the last seven seasons with the Colorado Avalanche, brings scoring, improved team defense, and right-handed faceoff skills to the Red Wings. However, the success of the contract will depend on whether Compher's offensive production continues to grow. The Red Wings still need to add a top-six difference-maker to truly bolster their lineup.

Red Wings Bolster Roster with Wolverine Alumnus and New Signings

The Detroit Red Wings have added another University of Michigan alumnus to their roster, signing J.T. Compher to a five-year free agent contract worth $5.1 million per season. Compher joins fellow Michigan alums Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp, potentially forming the Red Wings' top three centers. However, it is more likely that Copp will play wing and slide to center as needed. Compher posted a career-best 52 points for the Colorado Avalanche in the 2022-23 season and brings versatility to the team. The Red Wings also made four other free agent signings, including goalies Alex Lyon and James Reimer, defenseman Justin Holl, and Daniel Sprong.

Detroit Red Wings secure J.T. Compher and Justin Holl in multi-year deals

The Detroit Red Wings have signed forward J.T. Compher to a five-year, $25.5 million contract. Compher, who has been close to scoring 20 goals in each of the past two seasons, brings depth to the Wings' right-shot forwards. Despite his limited scoring history, the Wings had to pay a premium in a lackluster free agency market. Compher's contract places him third among Wings forwards in terms of annual average value.

The Colorado Avalanche had an optional skate for the scratches and held media availability for a few players and Jared Bednar. There is no update on Valeri Nichushkin's absence, and there is no timeline for his return. The Avalanche's penalty kill has been exceptional, limiting Seattle and even scoring a shorthanded goal of their own. J.T. Compher credits the team's detail in the penalty kill for their success. Bednar praised defenseman Josh Manson's improvement and explained the defensive setup for the playoffs.
