Vancouver released DeKeyser from his professional tryout contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser was among 13 roster cuts by the Canucks. He will have to find another team quickly if he wants to play in the NHL this season. DeKeyser supplied 11 assists, 57 shots on goal, 102 blocks and 49 hits in 59 games with Detroit last year.

DeKeyser penned a professional tryout offer with the Canucks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser appeared in 59 games with the Red Wings in 2021-22, picking up 11 helpers and a minus-8 rating while averaging 18:30 of ice time over that span. If he's able to land a one-way contract with Vancouver, he'll likely have to settle for a role as a rotational, bottom-pairing defender.

DeKeyser produced an assist in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from the occasional assist and blocked shot -- he's collected 10 and 98 of those respectively -- DeKeyser has failed to put up meaningful stats in his 10th NHL campaign. In all likelihood, the Wings let him walk as an unrestricted free agent this summer.

DeKeyser (undisclosed) has been activated off injured reserve and will play Wednesday versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser has been out for three weeks, so he may be eased back into action, though he's still expected to play a top-four role. Jordan Oesterle will exit the lineup to make room for DeKeyser, who has six assists, 50 shots on net, 80 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in 43 appearances this season.

DeKeyser (undisclosed) could rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser has been sidelined for three weeks with an undisclosed injury, but it appears as though he may finally be ready to return against New York. Confirmation on his status versus the Rangers should surface prior to puck drop.

DeKeyser was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes as a bit of a surprise considering DeKeyser was waived by the team Monday but apparently picked up an undisclosed injury since then. Still, the fact that DeKeyser cleared waivers likely will see him headed down to AHL Grand Rapids whenever he is given the green light to return to action.

DeKeyser was placed on waivers Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser has averaged 18:32 of ice time and distributed six assists over 43 appearances this season. The 32-year-old will likely be reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids if he clears waivers unclaimed.

DeKeyser registered an assist but was minus-3 in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser's role continues to diminish as injuries have gotten in the way and the Wings rely more on the likes of Marc Staal and Nick Leddy at left defense.

DeKeyser is currently listed as a top-pairing defenseman, but he has only three points -- all assists -- through 34 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

It's been tough sledding for DeKeyser over the past couple of seasons. The veteran rearguard has been bogged down by lower-body and back injuries, plus he missed time in COVID-19 protocols early on this campaign. DeKeyser's top defensive assignment with prized rookie Moritz Seider looks good on paper, but he has evolved into more of a stay-at-home type. It's safe to pass over him in fantasy leagues.

DeKeyser registered an assist Sunday, but the Red Wings suffered a 5-1 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Points have been few and far between for DeKeyser, as the veteran blueliner has just three helpers comprising his total through 27 games this season. Still, he capitalized on an offensive opportunity while sharing the ice with captain Dylan Larkin and Tyler Bertuzzi, who was Detroit's lone goal scorer against the Bruins.
