The Detroit News’s Mark Falkner spoke with Justin Abdelkader’s agent regarding his client’s desire to find a new NHL employer after being bought out by the Red Wings:
The agent for former Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader said Abdelkader is still looking for “the right fit” with the National Hockey League season scheduled to start next week with five games on Wednesday.
The Red Wings open the 2020-21 season the following night at Little Caesars Arena against the Carolina Hurricanes.
“Justin is eager to join a new NHL team,” said Newport Sports Management agent Wade Arnott, who also represents Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser. “We’re continuing to monitor NHL training camps.”
