Detroit — Tomas Tatar is staying with the Red Wings.
And Friday afternoon, after re-signing in Detroit with a four-year contract worth $21.2 million, nobody was more happy or relieved.
“I can’t be more happy,” Tatar said during a conference call. “I’ve been on my phone talking to (friends) in the Detroit area and it’s just been real nice.
“I have a very special relationship with the Red Wings. I was a huge fan and it’s a really big relief for me to stay and continue my NHL career in Detroit.”
The restricted free agent’s salary cap hit is $5.
