Red Wings unlikely to re-sign Brad Richards, Kyle Quincey

A pair of Detroit Red Wings veterans will be unrestricted free agents this summer.

Brad Richards and Kyle Quincey will not be re-signed before the start of free agency, general manager Ken Holland told reporters Thursday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Holland said he's informed the forward and the defenseman that he "definitely won't sign them before July 1, if at all."

Richards collected 10 goals and 28 points in his first season with Detroit.

The 36-year-old played for three different teams over the last three campaigns, winning the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015 after claiming his first championship with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004.

Quincey was limited to 47 games due to injury in 2015-16. He posted 11 points while carrying a cap hit of $4.25 million.
