Cut by Wings
Ryan was released from his professional tryout with Detroit on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Despite making it to the final days of training camp, Ryan wasn't able to secure a permanent contract with the Wings. With his release, the 34-year-old New Jersey native could be an option for other NHL clubs looking for veteran experience considering he's played in 866 games for Anaheim, Ottawa and Detroit.

Ryan was an excellent story last season, as he emerged from a stay in the NHL's player assistance program to help serve as a veteran mentor for a young Red Wings team. He did some positive things on the ice, as well, managing seven goals and 14 points in 33 games. Ryan is 34 years old, and an unrestricted free agent fresh off triceps surgery, but he averaged more than two shots per game (2.21) in 2020-21 and has always been good with the man advantage. Ryan may have to wait for training camps to open in order to get a shot, but he can probably help an NHL team in a depth role in 2021-22 as long as expectations are kept in check.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Wants to remain a Red Wing
Ryan (upper body) would like to remain in Detroit for his 15th NHL season next year, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ryan has brought valuable leadership to the rebuilding Red Wings and can still chip in on the ice, with seven goals and seven assists in 33 games this season. The 34-year-old New Jersey native had season-ending surgery and will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, but Ryan's preference would be to remain in Detroit if possible, and the team will likely be glad to have him back if Ryan's recovery goes well.
