Detroit — If things can work themselves out and if the Red Wings would want Sam Gagner back, Gagner for sure would like to return.
The veteran forward can be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but Gagner didn't hide his preference to remain a Red Wing — just like last offseason, when Gagner re-signed with the Wings on a one-year contract.
Given how well Gagner has played this season, and the experience and leadership he brings to the young roster, it wouldn't be shocking to see the two sides again come together on a new contract.
