The Red Wings have signed William Lagesson to a two-year contract extension.

Lagesson provides nothing more than organization depth for the Red Wings. He spent most of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, where he had three goals and six assists (nine points) in 23 games with Grand Rapids. He's got 107 career NHL games, including seven with the Red Wings last season, so Detroit will call on him in a pinch.

He struggled to produce offensively in 2024-25, only scoring two goals and three points in 37 games played.

The Red Wings signed Michal Postava to a two-year, entry-level contract.

Postava was an undrafted free agent out of the Czech Extraliga. The 23-year-old netminder was 23-18-0 with a. 2.39 GAA and .920 SV% in 42 games during the regular season and 10-7-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .940 SV% in the playoffs with Brno Kometa. Postava will likely report to Grand Rapids (AHL) to begin the 2025-26 season.

The 20-year-old defenseman scored 29 points (12G / 17A) in 46 games with Skelleftea AIK (SweHL) this season.
