Detroit Red Wings in free agency: Insider updates and analysis
The Detroit Red Wings have approximately $29 million in salary cap space to use during the NHL free agency period beginning July 1, with general manager Steve Yzerman expected to address needs including a second-line center, a top-six scoring winger, and a veteran backup goaltender to support starter John Gibson. The Wings may target physical wingers such as Viktor Arvidsson, Anders Lee, or Mason Marchment from the available free agent pool, and are expected to sign an experienced goaltender despite prospect Michal Postava's strong performance in the minor leagues.
