Detroit Red Wings player contracts

Entities: Carter Gylander · Toledo Walleye · Colgate University · Detroit Red Wings · Grand Rapids Griffins

Overview

In early July 2026, the Detroit Red Wings signed forward Chase Stillman to a one‑year, two‑way contract. Later that month, the team re‑signed goaltender Carter Gylander, also on a one‑year, two‑way deal. Gylander, 25, had split the 2025‑26 season between the ECHL’s Toledo Walleye and the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins, posting a combined record of 20‑9‑5 with a 2.78 goals‑against average and a .901 save percentage, plus strong playoff numbers. These moves reflect Detroit’s strategy of retaining young talent on flexible, short‑term contracts.
