PWHL Detroit made a significant impact on the opening day of the expansion player movement period by securing agreements with four Olympians.
The franchise secured star winger Daryl Watts through a historic four-year contract, utilizing its single binding Expansion Foundational Offer.
While financial details remain undisclosed by the team, league regulations dictate that Watts will earn a minimum annual salary of $100,000 USD along with a $20,000 bonus.
The other three Olympians signed by Detroit have not been named in the initial announcement.
This aggressive move signals Detroit's intent to build a competitive roster ahead of their inaugural season.
