Gotta sign 'em all.

The Detroit Red Wings became the latest pro sports team to get in on the Pokemon GO craze, announcing they'd caught one of their very own.

The Red Wings signed forward Teemu Pulkkinen to a new deal Wednesday, and this is how they revealed it.

Whether it was a case of auto-correct or a brilliant use of SEO, the club made a tongue-in-cheek correction shortly thereafter.

Then, perhaps predictably, the Columbus Blue Jackets chimed in.

The only players left to "catch" for the Red Wings are defenseman Danny DeKeyser and goaltender Petr Mrazek, but Detroit only has about $3.3 million in cap space.

They may take a step back next season, but at least they won the internet for a day.
