- Helene St. James of the Detroit Red Wings: In the Red Wings group of unrestricted free agents are: Damien Brunner, Daniel Cleary, Valtteri Filppula and Drew Miller. They have 11 forwards already under contract for season, including Tomas Tatar. That number would jump to 13 after re-signing RFAs Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson. They plan on carrying 14 forwards. Brunner and Cleary will be their top priorities. Filppula could be gone unless he wants to take less to stay with the Wings. The Wings might go as high as $4.25 million, but Filppula knows he’ll likely get at least $5 million on the open market.
