Red Wings' Dylan McIlrath: Inks two-year extension

McIlrath has only appeared in 13 NHL contests over the past three seasons, so he's nothing more than organizational depth at this stage in his career. The 27-year-old blueliner will continue to spend most of his time in the minors during the duration of his contract with the Red Wings.

Red Wings' Dylan McIlrath: Sent to minors

Selected 10th overall in the 2010 NHL Draft, McIlrath has just five points in 50 career NHL contests, including seven games without a point this season. The 26-year-old should spend most of next season in the AHL yet again.

Red Wings' Dylan McIlrath: Recalled to parent club

With the Red Wings dealing with multiple injuries on the back end -- specifically Mike Green (illness) and Johnathan Ericsson (lower body) -- McIlrath received the call. The 26-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since 2016, and has just five points in 43 career games. It's unclear whether he'll play in Monday's road game against San Jose, but McIlrath likely won't have an impact from a fantasy prospective.

Red Wings' Dylan McIlrath: Waived by team

McIlrath failed to earn a promotion to the NHL last season, instead logging 76 games for AHL Grand Rapids. It looks like the 2010 10th overall pick will once against start the year in the minors -- where he likely will log most of his minutes this season.

Dylan McIlrath: Hits waiver wire

The Wings acquired McIlrath in the Thomas Vanek trade with the Panthers at the most recent dealing deadline. While the imposing rearguard didn't end up playing at all with Detroit, he did hit the ice for 21 contests with its minor-league affiliate AHL Grand Rapids, picking up four helpers to go along with 42 PIM. McIlrath has been a total bust since the Rangers made him the 10th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and he can be left alone in all fantasy formats.
