Dan Cleary: Calls it a career
Cleary announced his retirement Wednesday, TSN reports.
Hailing from Newfoundland, Cleary enjoyed an illustrious NHL career with the bulk of his playing time spent in Detroit, winning the Stanley Cup with them in 2008. Cleary produced 165 goals and 222 assists in 938 career games, which also included time with the Blackhawks, Oilers, and Coyotes. The winger was adept in all three zones, and his relentless style of play fit perfectly with the blue-collar vibe of Motown. Despite signing a one-year deal with AHL Grand Rapids ahead of last season, he didn't end up reporting to the club, which seems rather unfortunate since they just claimed the 2017 Calder Cup.

Red Wings' Dan Cleary: Will rejoin Griffins on one-year contract
Cleary signed a one-year deal with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL on Friday, Pete Wallner of MLive.com reports.
Cleary was brought back to the Red Wings on a professional tryout agreement last week but the organization has now chosen to send him to the AHL. The 37-year-old played last year with the Griffins and tallied 15 points over 35 contests. Now in his second consecutive year in the minors, it seems likely the 10-year veteran has played his last NHL game.

Red Wings' Dan Cleary: Signs PTO with Red Wings
Cleary will join the Red Wings on a professional tryout agreement (PTO), Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Cleary's numbers have steadily declined since a career-best 2010-11 campaign, as he's tallied 46, 33, 15, eight, and two points respectively in his last five seasons. Now at 37 years old and a year removed from professional hockey, it seems probable Cleary's role would merely be depth at forward if he were to get signed long term.

Detroit Redwings' Dan Cleary Won't report to minors
Red Wings forward Daniel Cleary will not report to the minors, MLive.com reports.
Cleary refused an assignment to AHL Grand Rapids, so it appears the 36-year-old will instead opt for retirement. He signed a one-year deal in September but failed to earn a spot on the NHL roster out of camp. If Cleary does, indeed, opt for retirement, his entire salary for the season ($950,000) will not count against the cap.
