Sure the Detroit Red Wings are bringing back Bobby Ryan on a professional tryout and haven’t formally offered a contract. But it’s a low risk, high reward shot at padding some depth for Detroit and bringing back a fan favorite who if he can stay healthy, could add some production that could help the team in the long run.
Ryan had seven goals and 14 points in just 33 games last season, and winning a spot on a team that will have more talent this season could see an uptick in those numbers. Ryan did struggle to stay healthy and saw his season shut down after an upper body injury.
