Detroit — The Red Wings added to their weekend haul of free-agent signings Sunday with another local touch.
Forward Vladislav Namestnikov signed a two-year contract worth $4 million ($2 million salary cap hit).
Namestnikov, 27, is the nephew of former Red Wing Slava Kozlov, is represented by local agent Dan Milstein, and lives in Commerce Township. He also lived in the area as a youth.
"Detroit was always on the top of my list," Namestnikov said. "It's kind of awesome it happened and I'm beyond grateful. Hopefully we can start here soon and get it going.
