Jon Merril to the Red Wings

Defenseman Jon Merril is moving on from the Vegas Golden Knights and on to Detroit for one year with a price tag of $925,000.

He’s spent seven years in the league and has tallied 61 points. Merril played college hockey at University of Michigan so it is a bit of a homecoming for the blue liner. Last year he had a career high of 32 penalty minutes.

This is just another piece to the Detroit rebuild that seems to be coming together.
