Acording to the Detroit Free Press, Lang will not be offered a contract for next season.

"I've contacted (Lang's agent) Petr Svoboda and told him we will not be offering a contract to Robert Lang," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland told the Free Press Wednesday.

The newspaper also reports there was tension between Lang and head coach Mike Babcock.

I had nothing against Lang, but he doesn't fit into our long-term plans so this will give us a chance to give more minutes to our young centers like Hudler and Filppula.
