Some of the "veterans" will be missing from the Detroit Red Wings annual development camp, which begins today at Centre I.C.E. Arena in Traverse City.
Blame the Grand Rapids Griffins.
That's what happens when a team wins a championship.
Because the Griffins' season didn't end until they won the Calder Cup June 13 - that's 24 days ago for anyone who doesn't have a calendar handy - the Red Wings development camp will take place without prospects such as Tyler Bertuzzi, Joe Hicketts, Evgeny Svechnikov and Dan Renouf.
Bertuzzi has basically outgrown the camp but the others?
