Today is free agency day in the NHL. At noon, the Wings will be able to sign contracts with free agents. As a reminder, they can sign their own pending free agents before then and we’re likely to hear what’s coming down the pipeline before noon even gets here, but that’s the official time for things to get registered.
Here’s a quick reminder of where the Wings stand:
Forwards under contract (6/14)
Dylan Larkin
Frans Nielsen
Robby Fabbri
Vladislav Namestnikov
Michael Rasmussen
Filip Zadina
Additional Pipeline forwards
Jonatan Berggren
Joe Veleno
Lucas Raymond
Givani Smith
Taro Hirose
RFA Forwards
Tyler Bertuzzi
Adam Erne
Jakub Vrána
UFA Forwards
Bobby Ryan
Sam Gagner
Valtteri Filppula
Luke Glendening
Darren Helm
Evgeny Svechnikov (Unqualified RFA)
Mathias Bromé (Unqualified RFA - Europe bound)
Quick Take:
Veleno, Berggren, and Raymond will all be given a valid shot of making the team.
