Detroit Red Wings Await Kane Decision, Explore UFA Targets

The Detroit Red Wings are expecting a decision from Patrick Kane today on whether he will re-sign with the team.

The team's offense needs a boost, and Kane's decision is critical, especially with Dylan Larkin's trade request hanging over the team.

What are the Red Wings' options?

The Red Wings have several potential UFA targets, including Anders Lee, who scored 19 goals last season.

Anders Lee is a 35-year-old left wing who can still find the net and play a physical game.

Who else is on the radar?

Victor Arvidsson, a Swedish left wing, put up 25 goals and 54 points last season, making him an attractive target.

Mason Marchment, a 6-foot-5 winger, offers guts and goals, and could be a good fit for the Red Wings' third line.

The Red Wings are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference with a 41-31 record, on a L3 streak, and need to score more goals.

What comes next?

GM Steve Yzerman may add a veteran goalie to the mix, and the team is also considering other UFA targets.

Anthony Mantha will be a UFA, but a reunion with the Red Wings seems unlikely.

The Red Wings have added two Plantes to their staff, and may be looking to add a third from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
