The Detroit Red Wings signed winger David Booth to a one-year contract Monday, the club announced.
According to Craig Custance of The Athletic, Booth's deal is a two-way agreement worth $700,000 (NHL) and $250,000 (AHL). Custance also pointed out that Booth will serve as insurance if current restricted free agent Andreas Athanasiou isn't re-signed in the next couple of days.
The veteran forward hasn't suited up in an NHL game since 2015 when he was a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He registered seven goals and six assists across 59 regular-season games that campaign.
Booth was invited to Red Wings camp on a professional tryout, which was the third PTO of his career.
