Red Wings, Erne settle on 2-year deal with reported $2.1M AAV

The Detroit Red Wings and forward Adam Erne have settled on a two-year deal, the team announced Sunday.

The contract carries an average annual value of $2.1 million, reports Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Erne filed for arbitration after posting 11 goals and nine assists over 45 games for the Red Wings last season, the best output of his five-year NHL career.

The news comes just five days after the Red Wings settled with electric forward Jakub Vrana on a three-year deal with an average annual value of over $5 million.
