The Red Wings, according to someone with knowledge of the situation, have set a high asking price for each player – a first-round pick. They don’t expect to get that for either.
That’s why they will try to re-sign Howard and Nyquist.
- I’m really happy the asking prices are high. They should be. However, the Wings are probably right not expecting someone to actually pay that price. I think I’d be happy with 2nd round picks.
- Wait... re-sign Gus Nyquist? We’ve seen the reports about bringing back Jimmy Howard and I’m kind of okay with that on a short term deal.
