The Red Wings addressed signing the last of their restricted free agents on Friday, inking Tomas Jurco to a two-year contract.

Jurco, 22, skated in 63 games with Detroit in 2014-15 – his first full professional season. In that timeframe, he recorded 18 points (three goals and 15 assists), along with a plus-six rating.

A second-round pick in 2011, Jurco has played in 99 career games with the Wings over the last two seasons, and recorded 33 points.

He was the final restricted free agent the Red Wings needed to finalize a contract with, as well.

Jurco played an integral role in the Grand Rapids Griffins’ 2013 Calder Cup championship, as well, and he has recorded 60 points in 106 regular-season AHL contests.

Brendan Savage of MLive.com is reporting that the deal is worth $900,000 per season.
