Red Wings' David Booth: Pending unrestricted free agent

Nevermind the scant output, as it was surprising that Booth even made the team out of training camp and stuck around for the regular-season finale. However, he'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and Booth didn't find any suitors after getting waived in November, so he'll be hard-pressed to find work with any other club. The winger ultimately signing a professional tryout agreement -- as he did with the Red Wings ahead of this season -- can't be ruled out, though.

Red Wings' David Booth: Back on NHL roster

Since Booth has plateaued at the NHL level, he'll trade places with Dominic Turgeon, who's a rookie in need of all the experience he can get. Neither player possesses value in the fantasy arena since they're fourth-line contributors when performing on the big stage.

Red Wings' David Booth: Reassigned to minors

Booth's demotion seemed to be only a matter of time after the Red Wings placed him on waivers. The veteran at least made the decision difficult for team brass, after he registered a goal against the Devils on Monday. The Michigan native should remain atop the list of potential call-ups, so fantasy owners shouldn't be surprised to see him back in the NHL soon.

Red Wings' David Booth: Responds to waiver move with goal

Booth was waived earlier in the day, but the Red Wings opted to leave him active in New Jersey. This turned out to be a wise move, as his second-period blast from the point doubled the lead for the visitors. The Michigan native has now been waived three times this season, but we've yet to see him actually play for AHL Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' David Booth: Placed on waivers

Considering Booth has frequently served as a healthy scratch, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him land on the waiver wire. The Red Wings could move the winger down to the minors as soon as he clears, and this could also be an indication that Justin Abdelkader (lower body) is ready to play against the Devils on Monday.
