The Detroit Red Wings are hoping they can lock up power forward Todd Bertuzzi before the start of free agency.
Wings GM Ken Holland spoke to 1130 WDFN The Fan yesterday and confirmed that he would like to ink Bertuzzi to a new contract.
"We would like to sign Todd," said Holland, who confirmed the team has about $11 million to $13 million in available cap.
"He could sign a one-year contract and he could do bonuses. Or, he could do a little bit of term, but then the salary goes down."
Bertuzzi made $5.269 million last season and could make a base salary in the area of $3 million in 2007-08. If he is looking for a higher annual salary, however, he might price himself out of the Wings' budget.
