What happened: The Detroit Red Wings signed Chase Stillman to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2026-27 season. The deal carries an $850,000 NHL cap hit and a $95,000 minor-league salary.

Why it matters: The low-cost agreement gives Detroit additional organizational depth and offers Stillman a fresh opportunity to compete for an NHL role. The two-way structure preserves roster flexibility during the offseason.

By the numbers: Stillman recorded three goals and nine points in 24 AHL regular-season games in 2025-26. The 23-year-old forward was selected 29th overall in the 2021 NHL Draft and has yet to make his NHL debut.

What to watch: Stillman's performance in training camp will determine whether he starts the season in Detroit or the minors.
