I was pretty indifferent between signing Raymond to a max term deal or something shorter going into this year but the Wings would be dumb not to go long term with him at this point
Give him his money and give him an "A"

THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
At the start of his young career, Raymond looks more impressive than both Datsyuk and Zetterberg's first 3 years.... and they were older. Raymond JUST turned 22 literally a few weeks ago.
The point to my over-dramatized post is we have something special here.

He's going to be a superstar. You pay him now or look like a fool having to do it later for more money and a larger % of the cap in 4 years when he's in his prime.
Now the question is how do we make it so that we can get 3 scoring lines consistently dangerous on a regular basis.

I'm not comfortable with opponents f'n with him though. I know he's a tough dude but just the wear and tear. I'm about to go full pro-enforcer crowd. What's Jamie Tardif up to these days?
also...I love how Montreal was playing him hard, he took a few huge hits, and did not look all that great early on in this game...and then boom

Regardless of how tomorrow goes(hoping for the best), what we are seeing from Raymond and the experience he is gaining right now bodes well for the future.
Thank you Lucas, way to step up!

70 pt winger in his third season pro.
Is his career best season +/- 95 pts?

Said it long ago, we are watching Raymond become a truly significant player. Great in all zones, fearless, works his butt off. Most complete player of the 2020 Draft.

The kid has been a stud this season. I expect him to crack 40+ goals and 90+ points at some point, he's looking really good and clutch.

Doesn't he know that he's supposed to shit the bed like everyone else? I don't think he know he plays for the Red Wings.

Watching tonight I just knew he was going to be the one to tie it up. We haven't had a guy with that level clutchness since Slava Kozlov left.
Him getting the OT winner was just icing on the cake.

His body language is the complete opposite from last season. Last season, he's come off the ice hunched over, slow, looking defeated. He'd get bumped around and he looked like he was struggling.
This season he found another gear when it mattered the most. He's taking contact and not letting it get him off his game. He's dishing out contact too. He's assertive. His demeanor is energetic. He's f***ing determined.

That's a great observation about the difference in Raymond this season. So many guys in the NHL -- not just in the NHL but every job, and not just men but women -- are held back by self-imposed limits. They find a comfort zone and stay there. Trying to push beyond that is really hard, so they accept what they believe themselves to be as good enough. Or they make excuses, point blame. I wonder if Raymond might have made use of a sports psychologist at some point last off-season, or if this year was just the right time for something that was inevitable. For whatever reason, he is putting in the work and trying to be great. He is not intimidated by the competition and not afraid of big moments.
