A limited budget is leaving the Detroit Red Wings to parse the free agent market for an ideal fit.
One such candidate is defenseman Trevor Daley. Both Wings general manager Ken Holland and head Jeff Blashill have spoken with Daley this week. Teams cannot make offers until Saturday.
About eight teams had been in contact with Daley as of Tuesday afternoon. The Wings are among the three-to-four teams Daley considers a particularly good fit.
While the Wings have about $8 million in salary cap space and a large chunk of that will go towards re-signing, among others, Tomas Tatar and Andreas Athanasiou, the Wings can offer Daley a role in their top four.
