Insider reveals star Red Wings player may receive an offer sheet in the coming days
An insider has suggested that another offer sheet might be in the works, this time for Detroit Red Wings' young forward Lucas Raymond, following two recent offer sheets sent to the Edmonton Oilers.
This season has seen multiple offer sheets, including when the St. Louis Blues made offers to two Oilers players, which Edmonton chose not to match. Now, it seems that Lucas Raymond, a highly skilled forward from the Detroit Red Wings, could be the next target for an offer sheet.
According to a well-known hockey insider on X/Twitter, the Buffalo Sabres are showing strong interest in acquiring Raymond. This source has a history of breaking player movement news before it becomes public.
Lucas Raymond, a talented 22-year-old forward, played all 82 games for the Red Wings last season, racking up an impressive 72 points with 31 goals and 41 assists. Unlike the Oilers' Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg, who left for the Blues via offer sheets, Raymond is a key part of the Red Wings' future. His strong performance has already made him one of the top point producers in the NHL.
It's unlikely that the Sabres have already submitted an offer sheet for Raymond because the Red Wings are expected to match any offer to keep him. Given his importance to the team's future, Detroit would likely find a way to retain him at any cost.
The coming weeks could be interesting as we wait to see if an offer sheet for Raymond materializes. Offer sheets are becoming more common, so this situation is worth keeping an eye on.
