RED WINGS SIGN JOE SNIVELY TO ONE-YEAR, TWO-WAY CONTRACT
The Detroit Red Wings announced Monday the signing of forward Joe Snively to a one-year, two-way contract.
The 28-year-old native of Herndon, Va., was the leading scorer on the 2024 Calder Cup championship-winning Hershey Bears, scoring 14 goals and 45 assists for 59 points. He would add 18 points in 20 games during the Calder Cup playoffs.
Snively would also win a Calder Cup championship with the Bears in 2022-23.
In six AHL seasons, Snively had 58 goals and 114 assists for 172 points in 220 career regular season AHL games.
Snively has appeared in 27 NHL games between 2021-22 and 2023-24, scoring six goals and five assists for 11 points with the Washington Capitals.
Before turning professional, Snively spent four seasons playing for the Yale Bulldogs of the NCAA. He scored 58 goals and 81 assists for 139 points. After finishing his senior season, he signed a two-year, entry-level deal with the Capitals, immediately producing two goals and seven assists for nine points upon arrival.
The signing of Snivley caps off a busy Monday for the Red Wings. The club signed goaltenders Cam Talbot and Jack Campbell, as well as forwards Christian Fischer and Sheldon Dries, and defenders Erik Gustafsson and William Lagesson.
On Sunday night, Detroit re-signed Patrick Kane to a one-year contract with a base cap hit of $4 million. Last season, he scored 20 goals and 27 assists for 47 points in 50 games with the Red Wings, giving Detroit a valuable option on the wing as they attempted to make the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons.
Throughout his 17-year NHL career, Kane has scored 471 goals and 1,284 points in 1,230 games with the Red Wings, New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks.
