Red Wings Put Jacob Bryson on Waivers

The Detroit Red Wings have placed defenseman Jacob Bryson on waivers, creating another significant development in the club's crowded blue-line competition.

Bryson, 28, signed a one-year contract with Detroit on July 1 after playing 304 NHL games with Winnipeg and Buffalo. The official announcement listed his cap hit at $850,000. Now, Detroit has placed him on waivers with the apparent intent of sending him to Grand Rapids if he clears.
