For forwards, Jeff Skinner is set to be bought out by the Sabres on July 1st and will be a free agent for next season. Despite his production taking a hit this year, Skinner might be a great addition for the Wings at a cheap price.
It terms of goaltending there is a few options, the Wings could go after John Gibson who will be a free agent once the Ducks buy him out and would be a great back up goaltender. Gibson has had a great career in the NHL and has proven that he can still play despite being at the end of his career.
Another option in nets that is a bit riskier is Jack Campbell, the Oilers will likely buy him out of his contract as he has been a big disappointment since signing it but he might be worth taking a risk on at a very low price. Campbell has proven he can play in the NHL despite the last two seasons going poorly for him.
