The Detroit Red Wings are bringing in a former Tampa Bay Lightning forward on a professional tryout.
The Detroit Red Wings are hoping to take a critical step forward in 2024. The team's missed the postseason every season since 2017, and it's been a long rebuild over that span. The Red Wings have built up their prospect pipeline, giving them one of the best in the NHL, but now is the time for the team to take a step towards the postseason.
Watson, the 32 year-old grinder, has played all around the NHL over his nine full seasons in the league. Originally a first-round selection of the Nashville Predators in the 2010 draft, it took Watson several years to find his way to the NHL. After redefining his game into a physical, hard-nosed one, he earned a spot with the Predators during the 2015-2016 season. He'd spend the next five seasons playing in a fourth-line role for the Preds, collecting hits and fights with regularity.
