Ryan Johnson's professional tryout with the Detroit Red Wings has ended. Detroit declined to offer Johnson a contract. He had a goal and six points in 34 games with the Blackhawks last season.

Ryan Johnson signed a professional tryout with the Detroit Red Wings because he is looking to win a Stanley Cup ring. The 35-year-old center had better opportunities to crack another NHL lineup rather than the stacked Red Wings but thought his best chance to get his name on the Cup was with Detroit. He is a good faceoff man but fantasy-wise his value is nil. He has a shot to make the team as its last forward.

Ryan Johnson has reportedly accepted a professional tryout with the Detroit Red Wings. He dressed in 34 games with the Chicago Blackhawks last campaign and is renowned for his shot-blocking abilities. However, it will be very difficult for him to earn a spot with the Red Wings out of training camp.
