Confirmed with Link: Lucas Raymond signs 8 year extension

[Steve Yzerlland]

I'd be ok with 148 points

Too conservative.

I think this contract is going to be the real steal between this and Seider's. Raymond has that "it" factor IMO that you see stars possess. At the end of last season he was really putting it together and starting to truly dominate games I dont think we've seen anybody in Detroit do since the days of Datsyuk/Zetterberg.

I expect 80+ points of him this year and an outside chance at 90+, with strong 2 way play. I think in 3 years this is regarded as one of the best contracts in the league, much like Jack Hughes.
