Detroit Red Wings' newest acquisition continues to impress on world stage

Eduards Tralmaks continues to show us that we've all underestimated him. In Latvia's game against Norway, the Detroit Red Wings prospect found a way to help Latvia secure a win in OT.

He'd make a centering pass, so his teammate could get right in the dirty spot on the goal and score a beauty.

The game-winning goal was scored by teammate Oskars Batna in OT to secure the win in the exhibition matches before the IIHF tournament starts on May 9th.

The Detroit Red Wings and GM Steve Yzerman look like geniuses right now, if they can turn Tralmaks into a full-time NHL foward.

He's found a way to put the spotlight on himself recently, with dirty goals, and excellent playmaking shown in the video above.

Tralmaks signed a bargain deal with the Red Wings, at his contract with the team begins in 2025-2026, with an AAV of $775K.

It's a two-year, two-way deal that pays him differently at every level he plays at. At the AHL level, he'll be making $225K, but if he gets promoted to the NHL, he'll be making $775K, league minimum.

This won't be the 28-year-old's first foray into North America, as he's played for the Providence Bruins in the AHL before. He played collegiate hockey with the University of Maine, the same school as Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman.

It'll be difficult to see whether he makes it into the NHL, given how deep the Red Wings' prospect pool truly is. But seeing these clips is always exciting and gives us a good idea of what kind of game these players have.
