Frans Nielsen went unclaimed on unconditional waivers.

As previously reported, the Red Wings plan to buyout Nielsen's contract. Now that he's cleared waivers, they are able to do so. He had a goal and six points in 29 contests last season and was entering the final campaign of his six-year, $31.5 million contract.

The Detroit Red Wings will buyout the final season of Frans Nielsen's contract.

Nielsen had a goal and six points in 29 contests last season. Detroit signed him to a six-year, $31.5 million contract back in July 2016. He would have come with a $5.25 million cap hit in 2021-22, but instead the Red Wings will have $4.25 million in dead space this season to reduce their burden by $1 million. They will also have $500,000 against their cap in 2022-23 as a result of this buyout.

Nielsen (undisclosed) was waived unconditionally by the Red Wings on Thursday for the purpose of buying out the final year of his six-year, $31.5 million contract, MLive.com reports.

Father Time has clearly caught up with the 37-year-old Nielsen, who was often a healthy scratch in 2020-21 and finished the campaign having appeared in just 29 contests, picking up six points while averaging 12:08 of ice time over that span. It seems unlikely that Nielsen will garner much interest from other NHL clubs, so he may need to head overseas if he wishes to continue his playing career.

Flyers forward Luke Glendening meets with the media from @FlyersTCenter. x.com/i/broadcasts/1

Luke Glendening: Every day in this league is a learning experience. It's a huge honor to play in this league when there's pressure. I think we're learning as we go as a team. We're just going to keep rolling as best we can.

Had a great conversation with Luke Glendening yesterday, who just 2 months ago was a healthy scratch in NJ.Now, he's an essential part of the Flyers' all-important 4th line. Glendening is just grateful -- grateful for every day w/the Flyers & in the NHL:allphly.com/luke-glendenin

Did you know Valtteri Filppula was the last Finnish player to play an NHL game for the #Bolts? Waltteri Merelä did. After back-to-back titles in Liiga, Merelä is ready for the next step. "Hopefully I'm the next guy playing in the NHL for the Lightning." nhl.com/lightning/news…

Valtteri Filppula became a member of the triple gold club on Sunday following Finland's gold-medal victory at the IIHF World Championship. 

Filppula also captured the gold medal with Finland at the Beijing Olympics three months ago after he won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings back in 2008. The 38-year-old is the 30th player to win gold at the World Championship, gold at the Olympics and a Stanley Cup and he is first player from Finland to accomplish the feat.  

Valtteri Filppula has signed with Geneve-Servette HC of Switzerland's National League.

Filppula is 37-years-old, so this could mark the end of his NHL career. He has 197 goals and 530 points in 1,056 career contests with the Detroit Red Wings, Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, and New York Islanders. He won the Stanley Cup with Detroit in 2008. Last season he scored six goals and 15 points in 38 contests with the Red Wings.

So, #mnwild still need at least one D. Ryan Murray? Erik Gustafsson? Christian Djoos? Brendan Smith? Jordie Benn? Jon Merrill? Dmitry Kulikov? Big Z? Some of the ones still available, per @PuckPedia 😬

The Detroit Red Wings won't dress Christian Djoos on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers.

This is just the third time this season that Djoos sits as a healthy scratch. He has eight points in 31 games this season.

Christian Djoos now with 6 points in 21 games. Waiver wire pickup for Red Wings before season began.

Goaltender Jonathan Bernier has decided to retire after playing more than a decade in the NHL, a career that spanned six teams and included winning a Stanley Cup ring.

On this date in 2010, Jonathan Bernier made 34 saves in a 2-0 win over the Predators in Nashville for his first career shutout. Scott Parse and Sean O'Donnell scored both goals in the third period as the Kings won their 22nd road game, setting a franchise record. #TBT pic.twitter.com/ZG0NEk5Hng

The Detroit Red Wings have sent goaltender Kaden Fulcher to the minors from their taxi squad.

Fulcher has not played this season and needs to go to Grand Rapids to get in some action as practices with the Red Wings may not be enough.

Rust/Rakell/Karlsson on the trade block, Mantha/Skinner to UFA, Malkin 1-year deal, keep getting younger

@UrinatingTree: Some basic thoughts on the Penguins:- I think Malkin gets brought back for one season. He fills the Sergei Gonchar/Jiri Hrdina mentor role for the younger Russians, even if his skills fade. Perhaps a two year deal, but the second year can be bought out if all goes to shit.- Letang needs a Come to Jesus talk. He was an absolute liability for long stretches of time, even if he was respectable for the final three games of the series. He's trying to play like it's 2016, yet doesn't have anywhere near the athleticism to compensate these days. It's like Polamalu's last season with the Steelers: Just sad. Either he has to change his game to a more reserved style or he's getting a one-way ticket to Robidas Island. Extreme, but shit's dire with him. Thanks for making his last two years buyout-proof, Hextall...- Anthony Mantha can get his bag elsewhere. Let the Kraken sign him to a six by five or something.- Clifton and Dumba, thanks for the second round picks, but there's the door- What happens with the rest of the defense? Do Karlsson and Wotherspoon get traded at peak value? It's obvious it needs overhauled to hell and back, but how much does?- I'd love Connor Dewar and Ryan Shea back, but they're the kind of guys that get drastically overpaid on the FA market. Young enough to not fall to shit, but the fear of Ryan Graves lingers...- Speaking of Graves? Might be time to buy him out. It's a bust.- Noel Acciari might be a casualty due to his age and a bunch of younger guys knocking on the door (Tristan Broz)- I'm hoping Ben Kindel's hurt, because the dude was invisible on the ice most of April- Resting the starters after clinching home ice fucked the Pens in the end. It sapped them of momentum which took them too late to get back.- What happens with the vets? Do the Pens still try to go another year with the old core or start shifting to younger guys? Jason Robertson and Robert Thomas might be for the taking. Do they strike or feel the price is too rich?The Pens can take this offseason in a bunch of different directions. I'm interested to see which path they take.

Also being two feet off the wall in support of his teammate so the puck just scoots right past him to Porter Martone for an odd man rush.

@AGretz: Anthony Mantha standing at the side of the net during a scrum, in overtime, of an elimination game, after flubbing a wide open look, with his stick on his knees and his mouthguard hanging out of his mouth like nothing is happening is one of the softest NHL plays I have ever seen.

Ristolainen just got outmuscled by Anthony Mantha on that forecheck. Can't happen, especially to a defenseman like that who prides himself on strength and physicality.

With visa issues finally sorted out, Givani Smith makes his season debut for Chicago today. Charles Alexis Legault also returns following three games with the #Canes, and Nikita Quapp gets another start after earning his first North American win on Saturday.
