Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff has placed defenseman Jacob Bryson on waivers, aiming to clear a spot for younger players. This strategic move, made just weeks into Horcoff's tenure, could allow the team to retain two of three young defensemen while considering roster adjustments for the upcoming season., Mason Appleton's position may be in jeopardy if the Red Wings opt for eight defensemen. The roster will also depend on Dylan Larkin's readiness for Opening Day, with young talents like Nate Danielson looking to secure a place on the main roster.
