Detroit has the sixth-most cap space to use this offseason, making it a likely landing spot after♈ a strong season with Patrick Kane🌺 in the fold.
Kane switched between the first and second lines as the Red Wings began to streak toward the playoff before ult🅘imately falling short.
Should Kane not be re-signed by the Red Wings, it would f꧟ree up the space for Stamkos to move to Detroit as a catalyst for a streaking team of youngsters.
Stamkos’ Stanley Cup experience will be a welcome sight for the Red Wings, who also have Alex DeBrincat and Moritz Seider as pieces to build around.
