The Toledo Walleye, who are the ECHL affiliate of the Red Wings, have announced a contract extension for assistant captain Sam Craggs.
They may not get as much attention, but players in the ECHL, which is one level below the AHL, have just as big dreams to play in the NHL one day.

Craggs was Toledo's 4th leading scorer in 2024-25 with 47 points (21G, 26A).
After playing for both the Youngstown Phantoms and the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL, Craggs would play 5 years at Bowling Green State University.
His best year with the Walleye to date was 2023-24, scoring 56 points (28G, 28A) in 70 games.

The Red Wings, who are gearing up to play their centennial year, introduced a new, special logo that will be prominent all season long.
