Mike Modano will join the Red Wings, the Free Press has learned.
Mike Modano, a native of suburban Detroit, played his first 20 years in the NHL with the Stars franchise in Minnesota and Dallas.
The Wings have been in hot pursuit of Modano, flying him in from Dallas a month ago and wooing him over lunch and a Tigers game. He also has suitors in San Jose and Minnesota, but has made up his mind.
"Big announcement Thursday," Modano sent in a text Monday.
Modano, 40, wouldn't reveal his hand. But a source with knowledge of the decision, who did not want to upstage the announcement, confirmed that the Westland native was coming home after 20 seasons with the Dallas franchise, where he became the highest-scoring American-born player in NHL history.
