DETROIT - Detroit Red Wings management will discuss potential free-agent and trade targets and analyze every player in the organization, as always, during its annual pro scouting meetings this week.
A new topic for discussion is the expansion draft protection list.
The front office will meet Wednesday through Friday in Syracuse, N.Y., which coincides with Games 3 and 4 of the AHL Calder Cup finals between the Grand Rapids Griffins and Syracuse Crunch.
