Red Wings have reached out to talented UFA forward, 5 other teams involved.

The Detroit Red Wings may be trying to back a player who has been very good to them.

According to a report from Craig Custance of The Athletic, the Red Wings have reached out to veteran forward Thomas Vanek although they are just one of many teams involved. 

Custance is reporting that at least five other National Hockey League franchises are currently in the mix for Vanek, and as things stand it's unclear how hard the Red Wings will push to sign him.

Vanek was a solid part of the Wings offense last season, putting up 15 goals and 23 assists for 38 points in 48 games prior to being traded to the Florida Panthers.
