For the most part, the 37-year-old Talbot played well, giving the Wings a veteran netminder they could count on.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The issue is that Talbot is not a long-term solution. The Wings traded for Petr Mrazek at the trade deadline but he\u2019s no solution to the Red Wings&#8217; needs in the crease. As such, the Wings may be in the market for a new starting goaltender next season, making Talbot expendable.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s got one more year at $2.5 million. That contract may not be hard to move, especially for a team looking for a reliable backup next season.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 Jeff Petry<\/h3>\n<p>The veteran blue liner will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. Considering the 37-year-old had a limited role with the Detroit Red Wings this season, he could be on the way out as well.<\/p>\n<p>Petry\u2019s eight points in 44 games likely means he\u2019ll be looking for a shot with another team elsewhere next season.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 Justin Holl<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Justin Holl could be on his way out of Detroit this offseason - Source: Imagn\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"3858\" height=\"2580\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg 1920w\" alt=\"Justin Holl could be on his way out of Detroit this offseason - Source: Imagn\" src-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/25767414-1744944685.jpeg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%203858%202580%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Justin Holl could be on his way out of Detroit this offseason &#8211; Source: Imagn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/news-toronto-maple-leafs-trade-rumors-will-justin-holl-move-away-leafs-jake-mccabe-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Justin Holl<\/a> started the season in the AHL but found his way back to the NHL amid injuries and inconsistency in the early going. Holl was more a liability than an asset for the Red Wings on the blue line throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>The issue is that Holl has one more year on his current deal at $3.4 million and a modified no-trade clause. That situation could make it challenging to move Holl, but not impossible. If the Red Wings find a willing trade partner, Holl could be on the way out this summer.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 Vladimir Tarasenko<\/h3>\n<p>When the Red Wings signed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/vladimir-tarasenko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Vladimir Tarasenko<\/a>, they hoped to get a solid top-six winger who could contribute to the scoresheet consistently. However, that was not the case this season. Tarasenko managed just 11 goals in 80 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>That production won\u2019t cut it, especially when it comes with a $4.75 million price tag. Tarasenko has a modified no-trade clause next season, making it possible to move him during the summer. If there\u2019s a team out there willing to burn that cap hit on a one-year flyer, the Red Wings might be able to move the Russian forward.<\/p>\n<h3>#1 Patrick Kane<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/patrick-kane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Patrick Kane<\/a> had a terrific season in 2024-25. He scored 21 goals and chipped in 59 points in 72 games. The 36-year-old rekindled much of his former magic, showing flashes of brilliance at times.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kane is 36 and an unrestricted free agent this summer. Kane may choose to call it quits after 1,300 NHL games depite there no being indication that Kane may be looking to retire,. If he decides to play longer, the Red Wings would be willing to re-sign him.<\/p>\n<p>But if Kane decides to hang up his skates, the Detroit Red Wings will be shopping for another top-six winger during the summer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/2981390-1716632323-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Nestor Quixtan&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nNestor is an NHL and MLB writer at Sportskeeda with over 10 years of experience. Growing up in Toronto, he became an avid Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fan, but also admires the New York Islanders and Los Angeles Dodgers for their dominance in the 80s. Holding an Economics and Education major, Nestor\u2019s passion for writing and sporting events led him to take up reporting about the sport professionally.<\/p>\n<p>Nestor credits the Leafs\u2019 playoff runs in the early &#8217;90s as having a lasting impact on him. His favorite players are Doug Gilmour and Mike Bossy, as he feels they were tough, talented leaders, while Pat Burns is his favorite coach of all time for always preaching a fast-paced game.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in Canada, it was natural for Nestor to become interested in ice hockey and he played Minor Hockey as a teenager, which has given him a unique perspective on the sport. Nestor has mastered the art of how to best present facts and he also has a knack for knowing which sources can be trusted, and which can&#8217;t for stories.<\/p>\n<p>When he is not writing about Canada\u2019s national passion, Nestor enjoys running and hiking.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/nestor-quixta\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nestor Quixtan<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/5-detroit-red-wings-players-may-return-next-season-ft-patrick-kane\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Detroit Red Wings ended their season on a sour note, blowing a 3-1 lead to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":274385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274384"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
