GRAND RAPIDS, MI – It has been a busy week of signings and offers within the Detroit Red Wings organization, and the moves provide a glimpse of what the Grand Rapids Griffins could look like next season.

Andy Miele and Kevin Porter, both veterans, signed two-way contract the past two days and join former Western Michigan University forward Shane Berschbach, who signed an AHL contract with the Griffins.

Miele was the third leading scorer in the AHL with 72 points (27-45-72) in 70 games with Portland last season, while Porter played 50 games with Rochester with 36 points (19-17-36) and got into 12 games with the Buffalo Sabres (0-1-1). Both are former Hobey Baker Award winners.

Berschbach, a collegiate the past four seasons, will battle for a roster spot in Grand Rapids or be sent to Toledo in the ECHL.

Those deals come after the Red Wings on Monday made qualifying offers to seven restricted free agents, retaining their rights, including notable Griffins from last year in Landon Ferraro, Mitch Callahan and Andrej Nestrasil. Those three will compete for a roster spot with the Red Wings this fall, but could land back in Grand Rapids.

Among the youngsters, forwards Teemu Pulkkinen, Andreas Athanasiou and touted prospect Anthony Mantha, and defensemen Alexey Marchenko, Ryan Sproul and Xavier Ouellet are among the top considerations with the parent club. But, likewise, any of them could open the season with the Griffins.

It’s also worth noting that Tomas Jurco, who performed well in Detroit, does have one year remaining on a two-way contact and could still play in Grand Rapids. He is in a similar position to what Gustav Nyquist faced last year when he opened the season in Grand Rapids before he became a force in Detroit.

Also on the Griffins roster is center Jeff Hoggan, the team captain who will enter the last year of a three-year AHL contract along with defenseman Nathan Paetsch. They are worth noting because, along with Miele and Porter, they give the Griffins four veteran skaters, with decisions still to be made on defenseman Brennan Evans and forward Triston Grant, veteran leaders the past two seasons.

In the AHL, 13 of 18 skaters (excluding goalies) must have 260 or fewer pro games. Because of the rule, last year the Griffins were forced to sit veterans on numerous occasions following moves by the Red Wings.

Petr Mrazek will look to make the Red Wings in camp, or else join the Griffins as their starting goalie for a third season.

Meanwhile, the Griffins could end up with the same goalie tandem for a third season. Petr Mrazek, who will compete in the Red Wings camp with Jonas Gustavsson, signed a one-year extension with Detroit that keeps him locked up through 2015-16, and the Red Wings said they plan to sign Tom McCollum, the longest serving member of the Griffins since 09-10.

The Red Wings’ annual Development Camp begins Friday in Traverse City. Training camp opens Sept. 19, also Traverse City.
