Joakim Andersson isn’t going anywhere...for now.
After being placed on waivers by the Red Wings yesterday, it was announced that the 26-year-old went unclaimed.
Unlike teammate Jakub Kindl, clearing waivers doesn’t mean Andersson will be sent to the American Hockey League.
General Manager Ken Holland already confirmed that he’ll remain with the big club.
Joakim Andersson clears waivers, will not be assigned to minors today, per Red Wings GM Ken Holland.
