Justin Abdelkader, Red Wings agree to seven-year deal

Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader has signed a seven-year, $29.75 million extension with the Red Wings.

What It Means:

Abdelkader has one year remaining on his four-year, $7.2 million deal. That's a lot of money to throw at Abdelkader, especially seeing as he'll be 36 by the end of this new contract.

A better real-life asset than fantasy player, he has seven points and 12 penalty minutes in 15 contests. We project Abdelkader to post 20 goals and 20 assists over the final 67 games.
