Quincey, a pending unrestricted free agent, is not likely to return to the Red Wings next season, The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quincey made $8.5 million over the last two seasons -- that's a hefty chunk of change, and the Wings aren't in a position to offer the injury-prone defenseman another contract unless he happens to agree to a significant pay cut. After all, he battled an ankle injury and appeared in only 47 regular-season games. With Quincey likely out of the picture, Xavier Ouellet, who's out of options, is set up nicely to garner consistent playing time on the blue line in 2016-17.
