Mike Modano has signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings.
"It was a lot of back and forth internally, but I ultimately decided I wasn't ready to hang up the skates so I'm going to Detroit," Modano said. The financial terms of the deal are not yet known, but Detroit originally offered him a one-year/$1.25 million contract. Minnesota and San Jose were also interested in Modano's services, but Modano picked Detroit in part due to the testimony of Brett Hull and other former and current Red Wings. Modano is projected to serve as the Red Wings third line center and he might also get a bit of playing time with the man advantage.
