TheAHL.com’s Patrick Williams posted a list of “familiar faces in new places” ahead of the AHL’s 2023-2024 season, and his list of notable Grand Rapids Griffins vets includes the following:
Forward Tim Gettinger joins the Detroit/Grand Rapids organization after five seasons with the New York Rangers, where he is joined by Nolan Stevens and Zach Aston-Reese, who signed a two-way deal with Detroit last week. Brogan Rafferty solidifies the Red Wings’ blue-line depth after helping Coachella Valley reach the Finals last spring.
Continued; players like Gettinger, Stevens, Aston-Reese and Rafferty aren’t Wings prospects (nor is Josiah Didier, for example), but the Griffins’ vets will help the Wings’ prospects grow and shine.
