DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings are one of three teams in the bidding for the services of free agent Brett Hull.
The New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens are also reportedly talking with the 37-year-old right wing.
"I can't lie to you, we have talked to him," Detroit assistant general manager Jim Nill said Tuesday. "We'll just see what happens."
Nill said the Red Wings have been talking to Hull and agent Mike Barnett for "about two or three weeks."
Barnett couldn't be reached for comment.
Hull had 39 goals last season with the Dallas Stars and has 649 in his 15-season career. Montreal and New York have each reportedly offered Hull a two-year contract for about $10 million.
Earlier this summer, the Red Wings traded for goalie Dominik Hasek and signed left wing Luc Robitaille. Despite spending $12 million on Hasek and Robitaille and raising the payroll to about $55 million, the Red Wings still have interest in Hull.
