While he was
The relationship between the Detroit Red Wings and forward Bobby Ryan began with such feel-good appeal: They were a team badly in need of scoring help; he was a former high-end draft pick coming off a challenging year and looking for a chance to prove he could still play in the NHL. A season later,
There’s still some work to do for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman after he inked Tyler Bertuzzi to a two-year deal last Saturday.

Predicting an opening night roster at the beginning of August for the Detroit Red Wings is a bit of a gamble because so many things can transpire between now and opening night.
