The Detroit Red Wings have signed forward Bobby Ryan to a professional tryout. The move comes a day before the start of Detroit’s training camp.
Ryan started hot in his first year in Detroit last season, but injuries near the deadline cut it short. He played in 33 games, scoring seven goals and seven assists. Ryan fit in comfortably among the middle six of the team, finding some success pushing the offense forward.
Ryan wasn’t one of the unrestricted free agents re-signed to an extension, but the tryout gives him a shot to prove himself a worthy competitor on an improved roster.
