The Red Wings have a few necessities as they enter free-agency in less than a month with many skilled players on the board.

It seems as though the Wings will be looking to sign or trade for a top 6 forward as they prepare for Patrick Kane to possibly sign elsewhere. Another issue at hand seems to be goaltending, while they have a solid duo, the market will be so strong this summer it would not make sense for Yzerman not to at least look into it. They will also need to replace some players that are likely set to sign elsewhere such a Robby Fabbri, Olli Maata and Justin Holl.

Here is a list of the players the Red Wings will likely look into acquiring this summer:

Top-Six Forwards:

Pavel Buchnevich
Yegor Sharangovich
Martin Necas
Anthony Cirelli
Trevor Zegras
Goalies:

Filip Gustavsson
John Gibson
Jacob Markstrom
Cap Space:

San Jose � Justin Holl, Robby Fabbri
Pittsburgh � Justin Holl
Chicago/Anaheim � Robby Fabbri
Vancouver/Calgary � Olli Määttä
Consolidated Trade Board:

LW Pavel Buchnevich
LW/C Yegor Sharangovich
Cap Space
RW/C Martin Necas
G Filip Gustavsson
C Anthony Cirelli
LD Jakob Chychrun
C Marco Rossi
G John Gibson
LW Reilly Smith
RD Rasmus Andersson
LD Cam Fowler
LW Tanner Jeannot
RW/C Trevor Zegras
G Jacob Markstrom

While the Wings have quite a few holes to plug up, the good part is that the free agent market is loaded with talent this year. It will be interesting to see what Yzerman can do in the off-season.
