Former New York Rangers Forward Placed on Waivers: Rangers to bring him back?
The Detroit Red Wings have placed former New York Rangers forward, Tim Gettinger on waivers today.
NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman made the announcement today, on "X" as the forward is headed back to the AHL.
Gettinger will head back to the AHL's Grand Rapid Griffins is he does clear waivers. Last season the forward played a total of 55 games in the AHL with the Griffins and scored 25 points( 12 G, 13 A) with a -20 rating.
The forward has been placed on injured reserve at the start of the 2024-2025 season and has been recovering from a lower-body injury from last season's Calder Cup Playoffs.
Gettinger, who was in his first season with the organization, potted 12 goals and 25 points in 55 games. He did not register a point in eight playoff games.
Despite failing to register a point in the playoffs, GM Steve Yzerman found value in the depth forward.
The North Olmsted-born forward has been in the Detroit Red Wings system, since the 2023-2024 season, where he primarily played in the AHL.
He was signed to a one-year, two-way deal worth $775K deal in March.
Gettinger only played 16 games with the New York Rangers scoring 1 point during his career in the NHL. He's mainly been a career AHL forward.
Getting was selected in the fifth round by the New York Rangers in the 2016 NHL Draft and only played 8 games in the NHL, with the Rangers during the 2021-2022 season.
He will join the Grand Rapids Griffins if he clears which at this moment in time holds a better record than the NHL club.
