The Detroit Red Wings Land F Andrew Copp with Five-Year Deal

Free Agent Frenzy has officially begun, and it is as advertised so far. It feels like a new signing is dropping every minute. The Detroit Red Wings have signed F Andrew Copp to a five-year contract with an AAV of $5.625 million dollars, totaling $28.125 million:

Copp, 28, is a Swiss-army knife who will offer a ton in Detroit. Exactly the type of player Steve Yzerman covets, he scores at a decent enough pace, managing 202 points in 483 NHL games. Additionally he plays in all situations, so his price-tag should pay for itself plus the possibility for even better value with some of the young guns coming up in Detroit.
