Veteran goaltender Thomas Greiss has signed a two-year contract worth $7.2 million ($3.6 million cap hit) with the Detroit Red Wings. With 282 regular-season games of experience, the 34-year-old Greiss has been a backup or 1B option in net for most of his career. He broke into the league with the San Jose Sharks during the 2007-08 season and played 44 games with them across four seasons. From there, he made stops with the Arizona Coyotes and Pittsburgh Penguins before spending the last five seasons with the New York Islanders. During his time with the Islanders, Greiss shared the crease with Jaroslav Halak, Robin Lehner, and, most recently, Semyon Varlamov.

The Detroit Red Wings signed winger Bobby Ryan to a one-year, $1 million deal at the open of free agency. The 33-year-old has the distinction of being the first player chosen after Sidney Crosby in the 2005 Entry Draft. Originally drafted by the Anaheim Ducks, he spent six seasons with the Ducks before he was traded to the Ottawa Senators in the summer of 2013. Ryan has spent the last seven seasons with the Senators, including their run to the Eastern Conference Final in 2017 where he recorded 15 points in 19 games. In his prime, Ryan was a top-tier power forward in the NHL, maxing out with 71 points in the 2010-11 season with the Ducks. Since then, he has seen a fall from grace, followed by a shift in public perception of him. With 555 points in 833 regular-season games, Ryan has seen his role decrease over the years as he battled inconsistency, as well as other outside forces. He lost his mother in 2016,...
