Wings are likely to make a contract offer:

DETROIT -- Darren McCarty, one of the most popular players in the recent history of the Detroit Red Wings, is closer to rejoining the team.
"We'll very likely make him a contract offer," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said on Tuesday. "We'll make a final assessment in the next day or two."
Holland said he was waiting to get a report from assistant GM Jim Nill and team vice president Steve Yzerman, who watched McCarty play Tuesday for the Grand Rapids Griffins, in their game against San Antonio. McCarty, who joined the Griffins on a pro tryout contract, has four goals and three assists in seven games with the AHL club. The 35-year-old right wing must be signed by next Tuesday's trade deadline to be eligible to play in the NHL this season.
Holland said the Red Wings like McCarty's toughness, grit and playoff experience.
"The reason we're considering him is he's got some ingredients he can offer the team and he's free (doesn't cost any players/picks to acquire)," Holland said. "I don't expect he'll play a lot of minutes. Why spend assets to have somebody play a secondary role?"
Holland said there are three options to signing McCarty: Put him on the NHL roster immediately and keep him there, send him back to Grand Rapids on a two-week conditioning stint, or sign him and send him to the Griffins indefinitely. In order to send him to the minors, he would need to clear waivers, unless it's just for a two-week conditioning stint.
"The intention is to eventually get him up here," Holland said. "In my mind, he's not ready to be put on an NHL roster. I don't think Darren is quite there, conditioning-wise. He's got to lose some weight." |
