The Detroit Red Wings nearing a one-year contract extension with Patrick Kane
NHL insider Pierre LeBrun has indicated that the Detroit Red Wings are nearing a contract extension with UFA forward Patrick Kane.
Kane was anticipated to enter free agency along with the rest of the class tomorrow afternoon. However, it seems Steve Yzerman has worked late into the night to make a last-minute push to retain showtime in hockey town.
All signs suggest that this effort will pay off, as reports indicate the two sides are on the brink of reaching an agreement.
