Red Wings' Martin Frk clears waivers, heads to Grand Rapids in 'horrible' season

Detroit — Martin Frk got his wish, somewhat.

Frk is going to get an opportunity to play hockey again, just not in the NHL.

Frk was placed on waivers Wednesday, but was not claimed by any other team by noon Thursday. So, Frk is off to the Wings’ minor-league affiliate in Grand Rapids and will play in the AHL, which is just fine.

After having only played 25 games this season, Frk just wants a chance to play.

“I just want to play, and if I have to go the ‘A’, I will go,” Frk said after Thursday’s morning skate.
