Dries was one of six players who were placed on waivers by Detroit on Tuesday. The 32-year-old forward had a solid season with AHL Grand Rapids in 2025-26, compiling 23 goals, 45 points and 149 shots on net across 57 regular-season appearances. If he goes unclaimed through 24 hours, he'll likely return Grand Rapids ahead of his third season with the AHL squad.
