DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Red Wings continued their reloading project Wednesday with the signing of free agent Brett Hull.
They added goaltender Dominik Hasek in a trade and left wing Luc Robitaille as a free agent earlier this summer.
The Red Wings knew they had to make changes to their roster after failing to make it past the second round of the playoffs for the third consecutive year since winning the Stanley Cup in 1997 and 1998.
Detroit has decided to make another run for a title with aging stars - 10 Red Wings are 34 or older - and now have three of the top 13 goal scorers in NHL history.
