Detroit Red Wings mailbag: John Tavares, trades and more

Free Press sports writer Helene St. James answers your Twitter questions on the Detroit Red Wings. You can follow her on Twitter @helenestjames.

Helene St. James: The Wings will take a run at John Tavares if he does not resign with the New York Islanders, but bear in mind that while teams can try to resign their own players a year out from unrestricted free agency, other teams cannot pursue Tavares until he becomes a UFA in summer of 2018. As for cap space, there is so much still to be determined.
