Johan Franzen hasn't given up hope that he'll play hockey again, and neither have the Detroit Red Wings.

Franzen suffered a concussion on Jan. 6 that ended his season. But he is slowly working his way back and, according to general manager Ken Holland, showing improvement.

"I'm told he's working out every day," Holland said on Thursday. "The expectation is that over the course of the summer he's going to be healthy.

"I expect to see him in training camp. I expect to see him playing hockey next year. Until I hear otherwise, that's how I'm going to proceed."
