DETROIT, MICH -- The Red Wings have assigned forward Joakim Andersson to AHL-affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins:

Could this be a precursor to another move? A possible waiver claim, or call-up could be imminent. Andersson has likely seen his last days as an everyday Red Wings player. He does not require waivers as he did not meet the 10-game/30 day limit.
With Danny DeKeyser and Mike Green both hurt, I'm putting money on a defenseman being called up. The Grand Rapids Griffins have signed defenseman Joel Chouinard to a PTO contract, so this solidifies the reality of a defenseman being called up.
