Source: Detroit Free PressSept.迷你倉 05--Daniel Cleary's plans to join the Detroit Red Wings' informal skates today were waylaid by a late flight; now he expects to be at Joe Louis Arena on Friday.The rest of the week ahead is much murkier.Cleary had been taking part in a hockey camp in Vail, Colo., but that ended Wednesday. A delayed departure out of Denver made for too late of a night to get up and skate the next morning.So he'll join eagerly anticipating former teammates a day later. But then what?Possibly a professional-tryout invitation to camp -- which is, ironically enough, how it all began between the Wings and Cleary.Cleary, 34, remains an unrestricted free agent. The Wings offered him a deal before free agency began in July, but Cleary ended up hitting the market and was pursued by the likes of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who even had their captain, Sidney Crosby, call as a pitchman, as well as Anaheim and Philadelphia.Cleary ultimately decided he wants to stay in Detroit, and the Wings do want him back. He was their second-leading scorer in the playoffs, with 10 points in 14 games, leading the team with five points in the second-round series against Chicago.The Wings already have 16 forward自存倉 under contract for next season and plan to carry 14. However, there are several unknowns, starting with the health of Darren Helm and Mikael Samuelsson. Both missed almost all of last season, and Helm said earlier this week he isn't yet pain-free and doesn't know whether he'll be able to take part in scrimmages when camp begins in one week. Samuelsson said he's healthy, but will he stay so?For now, Cleary will skate with the Wings at the Joe. General manager Ken Holland told the Free Press Cleary is welcome in Traverse City on a PTO. Players, meanwhile, are banking that Cleary soon will be a teammate again."I'm hoping he comes back," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "I think it will happen."Since joining the Wings on a tryout in 2005, Cleary has endeared himself in the locker room as something of a know-it-all."He's a one-of-a-kind," captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "Everyone knows that. He's been away for a week, went to some camp. It's going to be fun to have him back."Contact Helene St. James: hstjames@freepress.com.
