Djoos didn't receive a qualifying offer from Detroit, which means he'll become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos may have to settle for a two-way deal to keep playing in North America, but he appeared in 36 games with Detroit last season, picking up 11 points while averaging 15:05 of ice time per contest, so that shouldn't be too difficult for the 26-year-old blueliner.

Djoos registered a power-play assist Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos returned from a 12-game absence and made a splash in Detroit's season finale. The Swedish defenseman performed well offensively when given the chance, as Djoos supplied two goals and nine assists in 36 games, though his campaign was interrupted by COVID-19 protocols and several instances of being a healthy scratch. Djoos will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Djoos produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos had the secondary helper on Adam Erne's third-period goal. The 26-year-old Djoos has collected four helpers in his last six games. He sometimes exits the lineup if the Red Wings only deploy six defensemen. For the season, the Swede has notched 10 points, 36 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 33 appearances.

Djoos managed an assist Sunday in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos simply dumped the puck off to Darren Helm in his own end, but the originating sequence culminated in an Evgeny Svechnikov tally to open the scoring in the contest. Djoos doesn't play enough to warrant fantasy consideration in season-long leagues, but he does have three goals and two assists through eight contests to make for an interesting streaming option in DFS formats.

Djoos notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos set up Bobby Ryan's tally in the first period, which was all the Red Wings could muster against Juuse Saros. The 26-year-old Djoos was back in the lineup after sitting two games as a healthy scratch. He could see more playing time going forward since Marc Staal (upper body) couldn't finish Thursday's game. Djoos has seven points, 31 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating in 28 contests.

Djoos missed the past two games as a healthy scratch.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings were shut out at home against the Stars last Saturday, and it was the same outcome facing the Predators in Nashville on Tuesday when the Original Six club played seven defensemen. Perhaps Djoos -- who has two goals and four assists through 27 games -- would have made a difference from an offensive standpoint, but then again, he was only averaging 9:04 of ice time in two games leading up to his pair of absences from the lineup. Check his status ahead of Thursday's grudge match with the Preds.

Djoos registered a power-play assist Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings orchestrated a nice tic-tac-toe passing sequence that started with forward Bobby Ryan synching up with Djoos, who quickly fed goal-scorer Anthony Mantha once Mantha slid over to the point. Djoos is up to two goals and four assists -- albeit with a minus-8 rating -- through 21 contests.

DJoos scored a power-play goal on his only shot and provided two hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos walked in from the point and buried a wrister from the slot to give the Red Wings a 3-1 lead late in the middle stanza. It was the second goal of the year for the 26-year-old and his first career power-play tally. The first-year Red Wing has chipped in with five points in 19 games.

Djoos scored a goal on his only shot and was plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Djoos' first goal as a Red Wing was a lovely one. The 26-year-old weaved his way in from the point and sniped a shot from the slot to knot the game at 2-2 with 14:11 left in regulation. It was just the sixth career goal in 132 NHL games for Djoos, whose previous stops included Washington and Anaheim.

Djoos managed to pick up an assist Wednesday in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
While Djoos is planted in a third-pairing role, the Swedish defenseman has averaged 3:25 of ice time on the man advantage. His latest helper was a 5-on-5 assist to Anthony Mantha, but as long as he's sharing the ice with these marquee forwards, there is sneaky deep-league value with Djoos.
