The Detroit Red Wings have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran winger James van Riemsdyk. 

The Red Wings add a veteran presence to the bottom of their lineup with winger James van Riemsdyk. The 36-year old New Jersey native will be entering his 17th season in the NHL. The deal is worth $1 million and includes $750,000 in potential bonuses. 

The former 36-goal scorer has proven to be a reliable source of points in the bottom half of lineups with 36 or more points in all but one of his last nine seasons.
