In Red Wings Land

#RedWings have informed Evgeny Svechnikov, their top 2015 pick, that he won't receive a qualifying offer by today's 5 p.m. deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent. They're open to signing him to a 2-way deal. He'll explore the market, agent Todd Diamond said.

The negotiations between the @NHLBlackhawks and @pius_suter didn’t lead anywhere yet, looks like he’ll become an unrestricted free agent by Wednesday. 14G (27P) in 55GP in his rookie season. #nhl #blackhawks #FreeAgency
