Detroit Red Wings submit offer to former NHL forward who's making return to the league

Red Wings' General Manager Steve Yzerman will have a busy offseason this year. After staying put at the last trade deadline, Yzerman will surely look to bring reinforcements to his team for the start of the next season.

According to a new report from RG.org, the Red Wings could be in a great position to sign a former NHLer who will be trying to make a return to the league next year: Maxime Comtois.

After five years in the Anaheim Ducks organization, Comtois finally left North America last year and moved to Russia to play in the KHL, with Dynamo Moscow during the 2024-25 season.

In the KHL, he scored 50 points in 62 games, showing he can still contribute to a team at a high level.

Here's what he said about finding his rhythm in Russia, and the idea of coming back to the NHL, in a recent interview:

Multiple sources confirmed that Comtois had many offers on the table, both in the KHL and the NHL.

In the KHL, Dynamo Moscow showed interest in bringing him back, but many NHL teams also made him offers, including the Red Wings and the Bruins.

Comtois' situation will be interesting to follow, as he could bring a lot of grit, energy, and skills to a team next season. If not the Red Wings or the Bruins, other teams are likely to make him offers, and unless there's a massive turnaround, he should be back in the NHL next season.

Stay tuned for further details.
