The Detroit Red Wings are certainly taking that old saying if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again to the extreme when it comes to signing European free agents.
Friday, the Red Wings announced the addition of free-agent forward Eduards Tralmaks. The 28-year-old Latvian was the leading scorer in the Czech Extraliga this season. Playing for Kladno – Jaromir Jagr’s team – Tralmaks accounted for 23 goals and 28 assists in 48 games.
And yes, in case you were wondering, his nickname is Trail Mix. In fact, Tralmaks’ Instagram account is edtrailmix.
He took that account to post a video of him signing his two-way contract with the Red Wings and to say goodbye to Kladno fans.
