AHL bound after PTO cut
L'Esperance was released from his professional tryout and sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
L'Esperance has five goals representing his point total through 33 NHL games, which all took place between 2018-21 with the Stars. The Red Wings love having home-grown talent in the system, and L'Esperance will report back to the Griffins. He provided 25 goals and 24 assists through 72 games last campaign at the AHL level.

2019
L'Esperance only appeared in three NHL games in 2019-20, scoring one goal over that span. He was, however, a solid contributor with AHL Texas, notching 25 goals and 40 points in 58 contests with the farm team. L'Esperance will get a chance to compete with Nick Caamano and Ty Dellandrea for an NHL job in training camp, but there's likely only room for one or two of those skaters on the Opening Night roster. The 25-year-old L'Esperance is the oldest of the three, which means he's running out of time to establish himself with the parent club. If he does go to the minors, he'll be near the top of the list for potential call-ups should injuries arise.
