The Detroit Red Wings are brining forward Bobby Ryan into training camp on a professional tryout.
Ryan, 34, played 33 games with Detroit this past season under a one-year contract. He notched 7 goals and 7 assists in that time. He scored four of those goals in his first three games with the Red Wings, which is a franchise record. But the the right wing’s season ended prematurely due to injury.

He became a restricted free agent at the end of the 2020-21 season and remains without a new contract.
The Red Wings have more than enough cap space left sign another free agent. Perhaps Ryan will sign another one-year deal.
