The Red Wings signed forwards Ryan Kuffner of Princeton and Taro Hirose of Michigan State to two-year entry-level contracts.
The pair of skilled wingers will be with the Red Wings for the remainder of the season and are expected to join the lineup in the next week to 10 days. The Canadian natives need to get their visas changed from academic to professional status. Kuffner is flying to Detroit Wednesday. Hirose will arrive Thursday.
“They were the top two free agent players we liked as a staff,” Jiri Fischer, the Red Wings’ director of player evaluation, said.
