Danny Cleary played with torn cartilage in his left knee throughout last season before undergoing surgery in April to repair the injury. Not surprisingly, the 33 points he delivered were the lowest total of his career since 2005-06. With the summer to recover, Cleary should open training camp back at 100 percent with an opportunity to compete for a spot on one of the team's scoring lines. Even if he falls short, Cleary would be placed on a productive checking line centered by Darren Helm and could still push back into the 40-point range. Now 33, Cleary is a free agent at season's end and will be looking to secure a multi-year deal with the Wings by proving he's healthy again just one campaign removed from potting 26 goals for the Wings in 2010-11.
