from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Negotiations with Franzen have progressed steadily.
“I think we’re in the ballpark, but we don’t have a deal done,” Holland said Monday. “They know I want to talk to Ritch Winter regarding Marian Hossa. Franzen’s camp hasn’t moved the extra mile, and neither have I. I haven’t gotten quite as far along with Hossa, and I do want to explore that and then sit down with our owner and make a decision on what to do.
“I think we have a chance to keep both players, but that does mean other players have to move.”
If the Wings keep Franzen and Hossa, there won’t be room to re-sign players such as Mikael Samuelsson and Jiri Hudler, both of whom also are in the last year of contracts. That’s why it makes sense for the Wings to explore a trade leading up to the March 4 deadline.
