Nate Danielson, a 2023 first-round pick, was demoted by the Detroit Red Wings to the Grand Rapids Griffins on November 8. After struggling to make an impact with two assists and a minus-7 rating in 13 games, Danielson's performance did not meet the team's needs, especially during Dylan Larkin's suspension. The Red Wings also reassigned goaltender Michal Postava and forward John Leonard. Postava's move was expected due to John Gibson's return from injury, and Leonard’s reassignment suggests that Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton may be nearing a return.
