The Red Wings have at least three personnel moves to take care of before the team reassembles for training camp and the exhibition season (whenever that may be): the team needs to address Tomas Holmstrom’s future, the Wings need to re-sign Justin Abdelkader, and the Wings’ front office needs to decide whether it will attempt to make a trade for a top-pair defenseman prior to the beginning of the regular season, or whether it wants to apply a free agent band-aid to the blueline. As the Free Press’s George Sipple notes, the free agent pickings in terms of offensively capable defensemen are relatively slim, and as such, he’s tossing an unfamiliar name into the mix:
Among possible free agents the Wings could roll the dice on are Michal Rozsival, Brett Clark and Carlo Colaiacovo.
Rozsival, who turns 34 on Sept. 3, has been plagued by injuries the past few seasons. He has 64 goals and 196 assists in 756 career games with the Penguins, Rangers and Coyotes. He had 13 goals and 25 assists in 80 games with the Rangers in 2007-08, but he had only one goal and 12 assists in 54 games last season with the Coyotes.
