The Grand Rapids Press’s Peter J. Wallner has penned a lengthy article explaining the player personnel changes made by the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins:
The look of the Grand Rapids Griffins changed dramatically over the weekend following a number of moves and signings by the Detroit Red Wings.
The team signed four players who most likely will wind up with the Griffins this season, including two past AHL scoring champs.
The look in goal also promises to be different after veteran goalie Jared Coreau left for Anaheim.
Plus, veteran goalie Tom McCollum told MLive on Monday that he will not return to the Griffins.
Here’s a look at the newcomers to get you up to speed, along with others from last year’s team still out there and some other recent moves.
