With the parent Wings in the midst of a major retooling, several Griffins stand ready for an opportunity to prove they can help. Much has been made of the Grand Rapids defense and the number of players who will have to either stay in the NHL or pass waivers. After three seasons, righty Ryan Sproul looks to have put all the pieces together and stands poised for a preseason audition to prove he can help Detroit's powerplay. Xavier Ouellet, the 8th defenseman for the last couple of years will also have the opportunity to show his wares. Nick Jensen is a darkhorse to steal a spot, but is looking over his shoulder at emerging talent Robbie Russo.
