B-/C+

Djoos was yet another player picked up to add depth to Detroit’s defense (this time claimed on waivers instead of signed as a free agent), and has done an average job halfway through the season. Although he can be a defensive liability at times, Djoos has shown that he is one of the few Red Wings defensemen willing to move up in the point to shoot. As a result, his two goals and four assists give him the second most points for Red Wings defensemen (Behind Filip Hronek). But until Djoos tightens up his defensive game, he’s right on that B-, C+ range for grading.
