The Detroit Red Wings currently have three unsigned restricted free agents (RFAs) in Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Jonatan Berggren.
Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond are crucial to the Detroit Red Wings' future as their top defenseman and winger, respectively. While their contract negotiations are taking longer than expected, losing them is less risky. Even if another team attempts an offer sheet, the Detroit Red Wings are well-positioned to match or receive substantial compensation through multiple first-round picks.
As for Jonatan Berggren, while not as essential as Moritz Seider or Lucas Raymond, he's still a valuable young player likely to secure a deal soon. His limited NHL action last season doesn't diminish his potential, and a new contract is expected before training camp.
In summary, while the delay in signing these RFAs might be unsettling, the Detroit Red Wings are in a strong position to retain all three, ensuring a bright future for the team.
