DETROIT - Based on barely squeaking into the NHL playoffs before being eliminated in five games by the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Detroit Red Wings obviously have some holes to fill this summer.

General manager Ken Holland has promised to be "aggressive" when it comes to pursuing trades during the NHL draft June 24-25 in Buffalo.

The Red Wings could also have some money to work with when free agency begins July 1 depending on what they're able to do (if anything) with Pavel Datsyuk's $7.5 million salary cap hit should the veteran forward return to Russia as expected.

So with that in mind, here's your chance to play GM.

What is the Red Wings' biggest need?

There's no question they could use some goal scorers. In 82 regular-season games, the Red Wings scored two goals or fewer 39 times. They scored one goal in 18 games and were shut out twice.

In five playoff games, they scored a total of eight goals - that's an average of 1.6 - and never had more than two in any of the five games vs. Tampa Bay.

To help give the offense a boost, do they need a play-making center, goal-scoring winger or both?

Teams can never have enough top defensemen and the Red Wings could certainly use some help on the back end. In their final 19 games alone, they allowed at least five goals five times.

Included in that stretch were a 7-2 home loss March 26 to Pittsburgh and a 5-2 setback in Boston during the second-to-last game, when the Red Wings failed to eliminate the Bruins and clinch a playoff spot.

The 224 goals the Red Wings allowed were the most among all Eastern Conference playoff teams and second behind Dallas' 230 when it came to the 16 teams that qualified for the postseason.

Their minus-13 goal differential was the worst among all playoff teams.

It's also been argued the Red Wings need to get tougher and more physical.

So with all that in mind, what is their biggest need heading into the off-season?
