Danny DeKeyser is one of two restricted free agents who have yet to re-sign with the Detroit Red Wings.

But the second-year defenseman doesn't expect there to be any issues in reaching new contract terms with the Red Wings.

"There won't be any problems," DeKeyser told Fox 17 while in Portage to play in annual Western Michigan Hockey Alumni and Friends golf outing. "It'll be done before camp.

"So, no one needs to worry about that."

DeKeyser, who played collegiately at WMU, is coming off his first full NHL season after signing with the Red Wings as a free agent.

In 65 games last season, he had four goals, 19 assists and led all Red Wings defensemen with a plus-10 rating.

Only Henrik Zetterberg (19), Gustav Nyquist (16) and Tomas Tatar (12) had a better plus-minus rating than DeKeyser. Tatar is the Red Wings' other unsigned restricted agent.

During the interview with Fox 17, DeKesyer also discussed last season, the Red Wings' first-round playoff ouster to the Boston Bruins and the rumblings that Mike Babcock's coaching style might be the reason the club struck out in free agency this summer.

"I don't really know why those are out there or who put them out there," DeKeyser said. "I think Mike is a great coach. He makes guys better. He trusts the younger players. He really pushes them and makes them better."

The Red Wings open training camp Sept. 19 in Traverse City.
