Abdelkader dealt with a dislocated finger at the end of the 2015-16 campaign, but he'll represent Team USA for the World Cup of Hockey in September, MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Abdelkader signed a seven-year, $29.75 million extension with the Wings last November, only to post 42 points and a cringe-worthy minus-16 rating by the end of the 2015-16 regular season. The agitating line defender is making too much coin to not get plenty of chances for redemption in the upcoming season, but it's worth noting that scoring veteran Thomas Vanek, an offseason acquisition, is more than capable of jumping into the top six if and when Abdelkader goes cold.
