Abdelkader agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

Abdelkader spent the 2020-21 season playing overseas for Zug EV (Switzerland) in which he tallied eight points in nine contests. The last time the 34-year-old winger appeared in a minor-league contest was back in 2009-10, logging 33 games for the Griffins and tallying 24 points. If Abdelkader can show he still has something left in the tank, he could convince the Red Wings to give him at least a two-way deal that would allow him to jump up to the NHL from time to time.
