Whitney leaves Columbus for Hockeytown
The Red Wings offered free-agent Ray Whitney everything he wanted on Sunday - a new contract and a legitimate shot at hoisting the Stanley Cup next season.
DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings once again dipped into the free-agent pool on Tuesday, signing forward Ray Whitney to a four-year, $13-million contract, Sportsnet has learned.
Whitney, one of the few remaining bargains in the free-agent market, enjoyed his best year as a pro in Columbus last year - tallying 24 goals and 52 assists.
The native of Fort Saskatchewan , Alberta should fill the scoring void left behind by centre Sergei Fedorov - who left for Anaheim one week ago.
