Witkowski was waived by the Blues on Saturday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

This transaction is the Blues' attempt to get Witkowski to AHL Springfield before the start of the season. The 32-year-old is likely just a depth defenseman for the Blues' organization this year and shouldn't be expected to see much NHL time.

Witkowski was traded to the Blues from the Red Wings on Monday along with Nick Leddy in exchange for Jake Walman, Oskar Sundqvist and a 2023 second-round pick.

EDGE Analysis

Witkowski has been organizational depth for Detroit, and that will likely be the case in St. Louis as well. He'll likely report to the Blues' AHL affiliate and remain there barring multiple injuries to the big club's defense corps, which just got deeper with the addition of Leddy.

Witkowski was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Witkowski will likely continue to bounce between levels down the stretch. The 31-year-old blueliner has only appeared in one game with the Red Wings this season.

Witkowski was recalled by Detroit on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Witkowski will likely be on hand as an extra defenseman for Saturday's game versus Calgary. The 31-year-old American hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since 2019-20.

Witkowski was sent down to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With the taxi squads set to go away coming out of the All-Star break, Witkowski should be expected to stop shuffling between levels and stick with the Griffins for a while. Still, if the Wings need reinforcements on the blue line, Witkowski's name should be near the top of potential call-ups despite having not played in an NHL game since 2019-20 with the Lightning.

The Red Wings recalled Witkowski from AHL Grand Rapids to the taxi squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old had been in the AHL since Sunday. Witkowski hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this season and doesn't seem likely to, barring injuries and/or COVID-19 issues in Detroit's defense corps.
