Set for free agency
Ericsson won't be re-signed by the Red Wings, the team announced Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Considering Ericsson split time between the NHL and AHL last season while costing the team $4.25 million against the cap, it shouldn't come as a surprise the organization is going to move in a different direction. At 36 years of age, this could be the end of the line for Ericsson. If that's the case, he'll retire having played in 680 games, all for the Wings, in which he notched 27 goals, 98 helpers and 694 shots.

A true stay-at-home defenseman, Ericsson registered only three goals and two assists against a minus-10 rating in his 12th NHL season with the Red Wings. The career-low offensive pace over 52 games can partially be attributed to a lower-body injury that shelved the veteran for most of March, but Ericsson -- who is cashing out the balance of a bloated six-year $4.25 million contract -- will be hard-pressed to wind up in the "Yzerplan," which affectionately refers to the direction Steve Yzerman will be taking as the successor to long-time Wings GM Ken Holland. There's nothing in Ericsson's profile to suggest that he'll be a viable fantasy option, even in a contract year.
