Danny DeKeyser wonders about future with Red Wings in possible final home game

Detroit — Danny DeKeyser thought about it a little, and if you're him, how could you not?

The veteran defenseman is an unrestricted free agent after this season. With the Red Wings still in a rebuild, and getting younger, DeKeyser's future is murky.

DeKeyser, a Macomb native who starred at Western Michigan and spent 10 seasons with the Wings, tried to soak in Little Caesars Arena as much as possible Saturday during the 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

"Anytime you're in a situation like this, your contract is up, you never know what'll happen, definitely you have that thought go through your head and whether it's your last home game or not," DeKeyser, 32, said.
