After thinking it over for a week, Daniel Cleary has reconsidered and decided to report to the Detroit Red Wings' top farm club.
The veteran forward told the Free Press this afternoon that he will join the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday.
"We have future Red Wings there, good players, and I want to be a good pro and a mentor to them," Cleary said.
Cleary had hoped to make the Wings, but that endeavor ended when he was waived Oct. 8. After clearing waivers the next day, the Wings assigned him to the minors.
