Some news just ahead of Thursday’s start to the Red Wings’ training camp as they’ve brought a familiar face in to compete for a spot:
The 34-year old Ryan joined Detroit last season on a one-year $1M contract. After a strong start to the 2020-21 season he faded into and end with 14 points (7 goals) in just 33 games played before his season was finished by injury.
Ryan stated on several occasions that he would like to remain with the Wings but went unsigned during the free agency period. Now that he’s on a professional try-out with Detroit, he can join their training camp and start working towards showing he can be healthy and productive.
