The Detroit Red Wings still have two RFAs to re-sign
Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now: There have been reports the Detroit Red Wings are not close to a deal with RFA forward Lucas Raymond. Sources say the Red Wings are closing in on RFA defenseman Moritz Seider.

Raymond has a team-high 31 goals and a team-leading 72 points.
