[REPORT] Dan DeKeyser agrees to terms with...

Detroit Red Wings.

Per John Shannon @JSportsnet

Bob McKenzie confirms as well.

@TSNBobMcKenzie : "Dan DeKeyser has chosen DET"

For those who don't know, Dan DeKeyser is the most sought after free agent from the NCAA this year.

A big defensive defensemen who grew up in Michigan was playing for Western Michigan's NCAA team. He also spent some time in the BCHL with the Trail Smoke Eaters. Would be nice to see if he turns out a Matt Gilroy or Justin Schultz after all this hype, but it's hard to compare since DeKeyser is a defensive dmen and not sure how many highly sought after dmens were defensive skaters... Not sure how popular Tanev was when Gillis signed the guy.

Nate Schmidt from that Yale-Minnesota game is also held in pretty high regard for this years class. Offensive defenseman who can run a powerplay, but also good in his own end. 4/5 type defender if he pans out. Now that Minnesota is out, he'll probably be signing within the next few days

Reported that Flyers were heavily in the DeKeyser sweepstakes... could've been their #3 D for tomorrow's game... LOL
