Big free agent back with the Red Wings?

Yzerman has some important meetings to start with Allan Walsh as one of them. He is the agent for veteran winger David Perron. Perron who has a two-year $9.5 million contract that is about to expire. Perron and the team are both interested in keeping him in Detroit. At his end-of-season press conference, Perron expressed his desire to stay by saying:

Yzerman will also have a meeting with Pat Brisson, the agent for two other key free agents of the team - Patrick Kane and Lucas Raymond. Raymond, who is a RFA, is almost certain to stay with the Red Wings. The main question is the duration and the value of his next contract. After a breakout season where he scored 31 goals and added 41 assists for 72 points, Raymond will have a big raise next season. His new deal will be the most significant in terms of money and will be crucial for the team's success in the future.

Kane's future, however, is not confirmed with the Wings at all. Unlike Perron, Kane left the door open for a possible change in his end-of-season comments:

Both players have valuable veteran presence for the team and for sure the Detroit Red Wings would like to bring them both back. Perron is known for his competitiveness while Kane for his incredible puck-handling skills and his strength to find his teammates in the offensive zone. Yzerman has important decisions to make regarding their contracts, which will both significantly impact the team's future look and leadership.

These next meeting will be critical in determining if Perron and Kane will continue with the Red Wings and how Raymond's contract will be structured. Yzerman's decisions on these players will shape the Red Wings future and play a big role in the team's success in the coming seasons.
