Mike Modano may be heading home.

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock told NHL.com on Friday that he firmly believes the Michigan native will sign with Detroit.

"This is a no-brainer for Mike Modano -- the highest scoring American player of all time to come back to your hometown, play in Hockeytown," Babcock said, according to the Website. "It's not about the cash, it's about the legacy and the fit. He'll fit and he'll be excited to play. I look forward to him signing. I think that's inevitable. I think that's what is going to happen."
