Detroit — Those fans who have been expecting the Red Wings to be aggressive sellers at the NHL trade deadline are in for a mild shock.

They’ll definitely see what is out there, and dangle some available players. But general manager Ken Holland is warming to the idea of re-signing some of those potential unrestricted free agents, with an eye toward making a playoff run next season.

Now, the NHL trade deadline is Feb. 25, and much can happen before then.

But it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Wings stand pat, or close to it, at the deadline.
