Rafferty was placed on waivers by Detroit on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Rafferty hasn't made a regular-season appearance in the NHL since the 2020-21 campaign, and he was unable to land a spot on the Red Wings' Opening Night roster this year. If the 29-year-old clears waivers, he'll likely head to the AHL.

Red Wings' Brogan Rafferty: Assigned to Grand Rapids
Rotowire
Rafferty was returned to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.
The 28-year-old defenseman has yet to play in an NHL game this season. He has been shuffled back and forth from Grand Rapids over the last three weeks and has been a healthy scratch for all seven games he's been with the big club for. The Red Wings do not play again until Feb. 10, so Rafferty should see some playing time with the Griffins over the next nine days.

In fact, the 28-year-old blueliner's last NHL appearance came over three years ago when he was still with the Canucks.

Rafferty was demoted from the NHL roster to the taxi squad Friday.
Rafferty performed well in his lone appearance of the year, recording one assist, one shot and one hit against Montreal on Thursday despite logging just 13:58 of ice time.

Canucks' Brogan Rafferty: Picks up first NHL assist
Rotowire
Rafferty posted an assist in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Rafferty's helper on Brandon Sutter's third-period goal was the former's first NHL point. The undrafted Rafferty was pressed into third-pairing duties with Alexander Edler and Travis Hamonic sidelined by upper-body injuries. With Jalen Chatfield (upper body) also hurt Thursday, Rafferty may get an extended look in the Canucks' lineup. It's unlikely the 25-year-old will produce enough to interest most fantasy managers despite his 45 points in 57 games with AHL Utica last year -- he still has a lot of learning to do at the NHL level.

Rafferty inked a one-year, entry-level deal with Vancouver in April after ending a successful three-year career at Quinnipiac University, so there was never really any doubt that he'd be qualified by the team.
