Report: Red Wings looking to bring back Green, nearing bridge deal with Mantha

Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland is reportedly looking to put pen to paper with a couple of pending free agents.

Holland has met with Newport group, which represents pending unrestricted free agent Mike Green, a player the team is interested in bringing back, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.

Green is coming off his third season with the Red Wings, posting eight goals and 33 points in 66 games.

Holland has also met with Anthony Mantha's agent, Pat Brisson. They're reportedly nearing a bridge contract for the pending restricted free agent.

"I thought the meeting went well," Brisson said. "We obviously discussed some possibilities we're going to have to review together internally and we anticipate getting back to him probably within a week."

Mantha is coming off his entry-level deal and just finished his third year with the team, recording 24 goals and 48 points in 80 games - good enough for third in team scoring.
