Red Wings' David Booth: Pending unrestricted free agent
Booth recorded five points through 28 games in the 2017-18 campaign.
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
Booth was called up to Detroit on Friday.
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 was sent down to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
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 potted his fourth goal of the season in Monday's 3-0 road win over the Devils.
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
Booth was designated for waivers Monday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
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.

Red Wings' David Booth: Performing as expected for fourth-liner
Booth has four points (three goals, one assist) through 17 games this season.
We were shocked to see Booth earn an NHL contract after signing a PTO with the Red Wings in time for training camp. After all, he'd spent the prior two seasons in the KHL with ho-hum results -- 10 goals and 14 assists over 42 games between Vladivostok Admiral and Omsk Avangard, respectively. Lower-body injuries to Darren Helm and Justin Abdelkader should keep Booth away from the press box, but he's firmly entrenched in a bottom-six role and not worth owning in any fantasy setup.

Red Wings' David Booth: Watching from press box Wednesday
Booth (undisclosed) is listed as a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home game against the Bruins, NHL.com reports.
This move doesn't make a ton of sense given that the Red Wings have reassigned Tyler Bertuzzi to AHL Grand Rapids, but there's a chance that forward/defenseman Luke Witkowski will line up on the left wing versus the B's. Booth sank three goals in four games prior to his injury, though his playing time has been scarce and he remains waiver fodder in most leagues.

Red Wings' David Booth: Sitting out Saturday
Booth (undisclosed) is listed as an injured scratch for Saturday's matinee against the Blues, per NHL.com.
Booth had three goals in four games before sustaining his injury, but he won't be available Saturday. He remains day-to-day ahead of Monday's home contest against the Panthers.

Red Wings' David Booth: Questionable for Saturday's contest
Booth (undisclosed) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Blues, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Booth has only averaged 6:39 of ice time in nine games with the Red Wings this season, so fantasy owners shouldn't need to concern themselves with his availability for Saturday's tilt. His status for Detroit's matchup with St. Louis should be confirmed prior to puck drop Saturday afternoon.

Red Wings' David Booth: Rare two-goal game
Booth scored twice Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Devils.
His ice time has been sorely limited and he was even waived at the start of November. But Booth's resilience and patience were rewarded Saturday. His value is minimal given his injury history and his lack of ice time.

Red Wings' David Booth: Designated for waivers
Booth was waived by the Red Wings on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
He watched the past five games from the press box, and the arrival of Scott Wilson via a trade with Pittsburgh has rendered Booth expendable. The Michigan native used to be a proficient scorer -- a 60-point campaign with the Panthers in 2008-09 especially stands out -- but unfortunately his comeback bid hasn't yielded favorable results with past concussions playing a significant role in his tailspin to irrelevancy in the fantasy realm.

Red Wings' David Booth: Scarce playing time of late
Booth has watched the past four games from the press box.
From a fantasy perspective, it's usually not a good idea to put too much stock in a guy that initially latches on with a club via a professional tryout contract, and Booth is no exception. The Michigan native's chances to consistently hold down a fourth-line role were crushed with the arrival of Scott Wilson in the Riley Sheahan swap with Pittsburgh. It's best to leave Booth toiling on the virtual waiver wire.

Red Wings' David Booth: On waiver wire
Booth has to clear waivers before he officially joins the Red Wings, Rick Ralph of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
Per NHL rules, after signing his two-way deal Monday, Booth needs to pass through waivers. Assuming he goes unclaimed, the winger is expected to suit up against the Wild on Thursday in a fourth-line role.

Red Wings' David Booth: Inks two-way contract
Booth signed a two-way contract with the Red Wings on Monday, Craig Custance of The Athletic Detroit reports. The deal pays $700,000 at the NHL level and $250,000 at the AHL level.
Booth had been attending Red Wings training camp on a professional tryout agreement and impressed the team enough to garner a contract offer. A veteran of 502 NHL games, the 32-year-old Booth will presumably vie for a role on the Red Wings' fourth line following two seasons in the KHL.

Red Wings' David Booth: Garners PTO with Detroit
Booth will sign a professional tryout agreement with the Red Wings, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Having spent the past two seasons in Russia's KHL, Booth -- a Detroit native -- returns home for a shot with the Original Six franchise. The 32-year-old has 502 NHL games under his belt, but he battled through recurring concussion injuries that threatened his career before managing to play in all 82 games for the Panthers in 2010-11. Even if Booth impresses the coaching staff and cracks the Opening Night roster, he shouldn't expect much in the way of compensation, considering the Wings' major salary-cap issues.
