This year’s free agent class has a few options, but the short supply of bonafide top-six forwards could lead to higher-than-usual salaries. Instead, the Red Wings should look to the trade market for scoring help. One player who they should focus on—a hidden gem, perhaps—is Yegor Sharangovich.

The Grand Rapids Griffins concluded their season and second round series Sunday evening against the Milwaukee Admirals. Despite winning the opening game of the best-of-five series, the Griffins were unable to win two out of the next four games, including Game 3 on home ice.
