2024 Fantasy Outlook
When the Red Wings took Raymond with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, they knew they had a potential star on their hands. It took him some time to get there, but Raymond delivered on that promise in 2023-24, setting career highs with 31 goals and 72 points across 82 contests. It certainly doesn't hurt that Raymond tends to play alongside Dylan Larkin at even strength, which is an arrangement that's likely to continue this season with either Alex DeBrincat or free-agent addition Vladimir Tarasenko likely to round out that line. In a position to succeed and with both the talent and experience to take advantage, the 22-year-old Raymond should do well in his fourth NHL campaign. It wouldn't be surprising to see him even reach the 40-goal and 80-point milestones this season. Read Past Outlooks

Raymond signed an eight-year, $64.6 million contract with the Red Wings on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Raymond, an unsigned RFA before penning an extension Monday, will now be tied to Detroit through the 2031-32 season. The 22-year-old was the No. 4 selection in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft by the Red Wings. The Swedish winger is an integral part of Detroit's core going forward, and that was made clear by the substantial raise that Raymond received following the completion of his entry-level deal. The right-shot forward will likely slot in on the top line while skating with the top power-play unit. Raymond had his most productive season yet as a professional in 2023-24, banking 31 goals and 72 points in 82 regular-season contests.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Raymond took a bit of a step back in 2022-23 following an impressive rookie campaign, slipping from 23 goals to 17 and dropping from 57 points to 45. Still, there is plenty to like about the talented 21-year-old going into this season. Detroit made improvements to the top-six forward group with the addition of Alex DeBrincat, which should give Raymond a boost on the power play. Whether Raymond plays alongside Dylan Larkin at even strength or not, he has 50-55 point upside going into his third NHL season.
Not a ton went right for the Red Wings a season ago, but the play of their two star freshmen - Raymond and defenseman Moritz Seider - was a major plus. Seider ended up winning the Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year, while Raymond posted 23 goals and 57 points while playing in all 82 games. The Swede displayed the ability to excel with the man advantage, finishing with 18 power-play points. While Raymond's horrific minus-32 rating is concerning, that was more the result of Detroit being a poor team than anything Raymond did himself. Raymond is a candidate for a bump in production given all the quality talent the Wings added this offseason, so don't hesitate to snatch him up in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

Still not signed
RWDetroit Red Wings
September 7, 2024
Raymond and the Red Wings are no closer to a new contract, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
ANALYSIS
Raymond, a restricted free agent, is coming off a standout season in 2023-24, compiling 31 goals and 41 assists in 82 regular-season appearances. General manager Steve Yzerman must sign key players Raymond and Moritz Seider before the 2024-25 campaign begins. Don't be surprised if these stalemates drag through the start of training camp and into preseason games.
