One of Yzermans claims to fame as a GM is finding hidden gems in each draft class and that is exactly what Lombardi is.

General manager Steve Yzerman and his staff have . At just 21 years old with three years of professional experience under his belt, Sebrango is a huge addition to the Red Wings depth regarding left-handed defensemen. He knows the team well and has more upside than most realistically available goaltenders. Each of my prospect pool rankings will be broken down into team-specific tiers in order to give you a better sense of the talent proximity from one player to the next (a gap which is sometimes minute and in other cases quite pronounced). Hes also able to play with a variety of partners, playing a complementary style that should serve him well and allow him to be more active with a lesser player or reserved with a busy partner.

He is trending up. With five goals and 10 assists through 53 games, it seems as if things went pretty well for him. I love playing young guys. Marco Kasper, forward: The 2022 first-round pick had an outstanding season in Sweden, which earned him a chance to play in the NHL late in the season. No one knew at that time that three months later he would be sent to the AHL after 31 other NHL teams passed on him in the waiver process. Then he made the transition over to the MHL Playoffs, where he played in nine games with a total of five goals and two assists. The Red Wings prospect pool breaks down into three tiers divided as such: 1-2, 3-8, 9-15. All three DHN writers (Nate Brown, Bob Duff and myself) submitted their Top 10 list. With the Griffins, he recorded three goals and three assists in just six games. Elmer Soderblom, forward: The 6-foot-8 forward made the Wings' opening-night roster and wound up playing 21 games with five goals before being sent to Grand Rapids, where Soderblom had another five goals in 20 games before a season-ending injury in March.

After joining the Walleye, he tallied one goal and 11 assists in a span of 23 regular season games.

If I were to describe his game in one word, it would be consistent. He is not a flashy player by any means but has all the tools needed to be a solid and reliable asset in the defensive zone. 15:20.

The Detroit Red Wings have drafted in the top 10 the past three seasons and have had a slew of extra second- and third-round selections over the past four years.

(from "2023 NHL Draft top prospects: Bedard No. Obviously, broken bones are what they are and you really cant control that. He has a whopping 29 postseason points through 20 games and is putting on a show each time he takes the ice.Mr. He can get pulled out of his net overcommitting on dekes, too.

Theodor Niederbach Trending in the wrong direction since being drafted in 2020. The maturity and smarts in his game define him. Sebrango is looking to have a solid professional career and I am excited to see if he manages to make a case with the Red Wings in the coming years.
Hes always been a great skater, a smart player, a good passer of the puck, but I think his frame was underdeveloped. He quietly makes the small plays that drive results. After an excellent post-draft season playing big minutes in the SHL and a leading role at the world juniors, Edvinsson has had a really strong first pro season in North America. He had a career-best season with a 19-15-5 record, a .914 save percentage (SV%), and a 2.46 goals-against average (GAA).

I like how his head is always up (easier said than done when youre as tall as he is).

Unfortunately, his season was cut short after suffering a second shoulder injury that sidelined him in February. He is a very strong two-way defenseman and has made huge strides in his development over the past year, making him a truly viable candidate for a spot on the Red Wings roster this upcoming season.

Drafted: 2020 round three, 63rd overall by Detroit Red Wings. He plays an agitating and physical game as well which helps make him a dynamic player. Drafted: 2022 round one, eighth overall by Detroit Red Wings.

Wallinder brings size and skating ability that makes him an intriguing package. 1.

As an AHL rookie, he scored 21 goals and racked up 64 points in 70 games in an impressive season that saw his stock climb. Hes really a good little player. It is not uncommon for goalies to start their pro career in the Coast where they can play more games. Ht/Wt: 5-11/194 Red Wings Weekly Review: Prospects Rankings, Hronek & Larkin The Athletic's Corey Pronman released his ranking of the Detroit Red Wings prospect pool this week which certainly saw an improvement from his rankings last season. As promising as the future is for Detroit, the team is already competitive as we hit the first quarter mark of the season and at the time this was written, Detroit sits fourth in the Atlantic Division. Through 52 AHL games, he tallied five goals and a whopping 22 assists which consequently proved that he can produce at a professional level. Theyve got a top prospect at forward, on defense and in net, a handful of prospects behind that core three who look legit, and decent depth throughout, with the only glaring need being a lack of right-shot D prospects (all six of the defensemen who made their list are lefties). We'll slowly add to it and do the best we can to fill our roster.

Hes real competitive.

This second injury left him in need of surgery so hopefully his recovery goes smoothly and he is able to pick back up where he left off in terms of career progress.

Hes always been a great skater, a smart player, a good passer of the puck, but his frame was underdeveloped. Wallinder made his SHL debut last year as a 19-year-old in his D+2 year. Albert Johansson, 21, defense. Tier 1 1. His play at the summer rescheduled WJC with USA was excellent as well as he scored five goals in five games as one of the tournaments standout performers. Buium stepped into college and helped a team to a national title as effective player at both ends as a true freshman last year. After three solid years of progression in the SHL, I think Johansson has been better than his counting stats would suggest, given his role in Grand Rapids and the team around him. The Top 15 Now here is the content you really came here for - my official top 15! Hes going to be a very good and different player if he can maintain his take-charge mentality on both sides of the puck and put it all together at the NHL level. His 2022-23 season is still going as he earned a spot on the Toledo Walleyes playoff roster as they are chasing the Kelly Cup. The Detroit Red Wings' prospect pool would receive a jolt if they take high-energy forward Zach Benson in the 2023 NHL Draft.

In his third season with the Griffins of the AHL, he played 39 games with a total of seven points four goals and three assists.

2022-23 Red Wings Highlights.

Albert Johansson, LD Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL), Age: 21

This may be a by-product of the pandemic, but his development has fast forward to a point where he already has over 100 career games played in the AHL and played in the WJC in the summer for Canada as a key player for their Gold Medal Championship. Yzerman will not have as many options as he would like. We respect your privacy and take protecting it seriously. Hes got it in him.

"It's tough not to get excited with what we saw in those nine games," coach Derek Lalonde said. There was his tremendous 20-year-old season in the SHL two years ago. I just think (it was) confidence, Lalonde said in April. At best, Nedeljkovic was supposed to end up in a tandem situation with Ville Husso. and rare soft skill. "We really hold out optimism for him to be one of those guys that's on the smaller side who just has it to be an NHL player. Another Swedish defender.

If he keeps it up, he may do the same in Detroit eventually.

Simon Edvinssson, defenseman: You can still call Edvinsson a prospect, but not for much longer. I have no problem playing young guys. Niederbach is a slick playmaker who thrives in possession and really pops as an east-west passer and power-play distributor. Thats all you can ask of him.

We made a change but he went down, got his rhythm, got his workload. As If There Was Any Doubt, Bruins Face Reality That They Cant Afford Bertuzzi, The Daily: Ex-Red Wings Favor Panthers; Patrick Kane Out 4-6 Months, Red Wings Kubalik, Seider Are World Tourney All-Star Selections (+), Five Happenings That Could Put the Red Wings in the Playoffs (+), Former Red Wings Star Kozlov Still Struggles to Discuss Near-Death Experience (+), Veleno Wants to Play More Prickly Next Season (+), Shakeup In Red Wings Business Operation; McGowan Out As Ilitch S&E CEO (+), Detroit Hockey Nows Red Wings Review series is assessing every player who held a significant place in the fortunes of the 2022-23 Detroit Red Wings season. Drafted: 2021 round one, 15th overall by Detroit Red Wings.

Soderblom has truly shown that he is capable of playing at the NHL level and keeping up with the speed of the game. Stay tuned.

Now a sophomore at Miami University, he also played for USA at the WJC. He has the size to be an impact at the NHL level. The Daily: Former Red Wings D Marcon Dead at 88; Police Body Cam Footage of Nichushkin Incident Unearthed, Lidstrom Was Most Valuable Red Wings Player . Hes 5-9, 5-10, 170 pounds. With a 115-point regular season, it is simply impossible not to give Alexandre Doucet a spot on this list. There are a lot of pro qualities in Dower Nilssons game. He's maturing as a young man as well, so we have optimism for him. 1. 33, 2018) Skating his first season in North American hockey, Berggren, 21, a left-shot right wing, led the Grffins with 43 assists and 64 points. 2021 ranking: No. Hes a very competitive guy. Is he in there running guys over, knocking guys out? Yes he struggled went to Grand Rapids.

That is simply not something that you see every day even in non-professional leagues such as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League where he is playing. It has also been nice to see him begin to make more play-ending passes and create a ton of chances to add to his already-dominant transition game, as a surprisingly confident carrier and transporter for a big man. Ranking Red Wings prospects 16-20.

Most recently, we received the unfortunate news that he will be out for 4-6 months after having successful surgery on his shoulder.

Simon Edvinsson, LD Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL), Age: 19 In a way, that's not surprising. Through nine postseason games, he has one goal and one assist as the Walleye keep advancing through the tournament. And maybe most importantly, he has handled the responsibilities of center ice really well this year (after playing exclusively the wing in the SHL in his draft year). He's very creative.

Limited ice time in the SHL has resulted in limited production. Seider followed that up by leading Detroit defensemen with 42 points (five goals, 37 assists) this season, and his 23:07 of ice time per game was the highest among all Red Wings players. The question to ask is whether Nedeljkovic needs to play frequently to stay sharp.

He is not afraid of being a physical presence in the defensive zone especially when he is under pressure from the opponent.

After Mo Seider won the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year, many were thinking the Wings could have back-to-back Calder defensemen in Edvinsson.

His raw tools all get high grades. "Albert actually had a great season," Horcoff said. Follow Scott on Twitter @scottcwheeler, https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/02/03135605/dmitri_buchelnikov_-_3rd_period_32_23_-_32_49.mp4, https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2023/02/03135557/dmitri_buchelnikov_-_1st_period_9_5_-_9_31.mp4. With a .913 SV% and 2.56 GAA, he was one of the top five goaltenders in the entire ECHL through the regular season. Cossa is a huge (6-foot-6), powerful, athletic goalie, and those last two things dont always come with the first.

We are in the business of winning. Johansson (2019 second-round pick) was injured late in the season, ending any chance of being promoted to the NHL. Players like Jonatan Berggren and Joe Veleno earned full-time jobs this season. Although Im sure he was disappointed not to make the world juniors team this year (I actually think Team USA could have used his size on the back end), he has had a decent sophomore year at Denver as well.

He was really very good in HockeyAllsvenskan in my viewings in January, and has recently earned a return call to Frolunda in the SHL, which is a good sign for a player his age.

Hes got work to do to improve his shot, develop his quickness and add a bit more of a physical element, but hes a strong outlet passer who plays a calculating game on both sides of the puck.

Jonatan Berggren (No. He went through a stretch there. 6-7 role eventually, even if this year feels like a setback..

Dylan James 2022 second-round pick from the USHL is a freshman at the University of North Dakota and playing a prominent role and producing.

That was good for 12th in league scoring and second among rookies. The Detroit Red Wings have drafted in the top 10 the past three seasons and have had a slew of extra second- and third-round selections over the past four years.

Not sure whether Nedeljkovic is right for a 25-game backup role. Founded in 2009, The Hockey Writers is a premier destination for news and information on everything hockey. I believe he will finish out his collegiate career with Denver by playing two more seasons and then the door to professional hockey may open for him. Simon Edvinsson, who Detroit selected sixth overall last summer, sits behind only Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power and Ottawa Senators rearguard Jake Sanderson on Button's top-50 rankings.

He was named the Most Outstanding Player and awarded a spot on the All-Tournament team for his amazing performance in the entire ECAC Tournament. Get the very best in Detroit Red Wings and NHL breaking news, analysis and opinion delivered straight to your inbox. Wallinder has the tools to be a second-pairing guy if he stays on this trajectory. Hes a horse for Rogle and logs big minutes in all situations. The good news is that hes consistent enough, he plays off of his linemates well enough, and I think hes got enough skill and creativity to become a really good SHL/AHL player. But it probably isnt going to be with the Red Wings. There was his team-leading 64-point rookie season in the AHL last year. I like his PP2 utility as a giant net-front guy with skill (those guys are hard to find) and he just has unbelievable dexterity and feel out there for his size, regularly controlling bouncing pucks and corralling bad passes. He rarely misreads odd-man rushes or coverage. At worst, he would be the able backup, someone who could make 25-plus starts and give his team a shot to win those games. Unfortunately though, after becoming one of the SHLs youngest regulars at forward last year and making the move from Frolunda to Rogle, he hasnt taken a step forward this season and has bounced between the SHL and HockeyAllsvenskan. Red Wings Draft Targets: Dalibor Dvorsky. "I just think (it was) confidence," Lalonde said in April. He also wants the puck and will make a second effort play inside the offensive zone to go get it.

May 31, 2023. "We all look around and you wish you had more of your prospects ready to go sooner," Yzerman said during his season-ending media conference.

Today, we feature Michael Rasmussen, 2022-23 totals (GP-W-L-OT-GAA-SA%): 15-5-7-2-3.53-.895, Contract Status: Will be an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this summer. His game is very precise, tactical, and smooth which helps him find the net either on his own or alongside a teammate. As the NCAA Tournament got underway, he faced the strongest competition of his entire career as his team lost dramatically to the University of Michigan in the first round. He has hit the ground running with nine points through his first 15 games. He's a very entertaining player. He has played on three teams across three leagues this season and is currently representing SKA-1946 in the MHL Playoffs.

There will be more defensive value to his game long-term than offensive value (he swallows up the neutral zone and breaks up a lot of plays inside his own zone), but theres enough skill to his game to at least contribute on offence.

Age: 18 Moritz Seider, D 21 years old | 6-foot-3 | 208 pounds | Shoots right Drafted: No. Kasper already has international experience at the World juniors and the World Championship as an 18-year-old. He plays a reliable, well-rounded, three-zone game that is built upon a strong foundation of tools, an understanding of the game, and a strong 6-foot-3 frame. Detroit Red Wings are No. But he drives to the net, he somehow gets to the corners first, he makes plays, hes creative. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that we will be seeing Buchelnikov show up in North America for a few more years as he signed a contract extension with Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) SKA St. Petersberg that goes through 2025.

Unfortunately for Kasper, the look-see only lasted one game, against Toronto, in which Kasper played 10 minutes despite suffering a broken kneecap at some point. He did get bumped out of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) this season and spent the majority of his time with MoDo Hockey of HockeyAllsvenskan.

Today, the top five prospects for the Detroit Red Wings, according to NHL.com. This season in particular was a huge year for Wallinder developmentally and makes him a strong case for being the best Red Wings prospect that has yet to make his North American debut. "He'll need to have a great offseason.

Theodor Niederbach has consistently been one of my favorite prospects to watch and has yet to give me a reason to be disappointed. 32 to No.

Ht/Wt: 6-0/183 Hes raw. [Red Wings 31 IN 31: Season preview | 3 Questions | Fantasy breakdown | Behind the Numbers] 1. It was clear he was not the answer after a few games. The Red Wings still have time to figure out if recently drafted players are anything more than prospects.

Cossa, 20, was 26-16-4 with a 2.56 goals-against average and .913 save percentage during the regular season and is 4-1 with a 1.41 GAA and .950 SVS in the playoffs. No. There were certain stretches where he was a point-a-game player for 10-12 games, which is obviously hard to do at that level for a young player.". There was moments where it felt like every rush might go in.

PK got us going shorthanded Doucet (8) SH 5:57 1st period Furlong | #GoMooseGo pic.twitter.com/wBzPaAbnBP Halifax Mooseheads (@HFXMooseheads) May 2, 2023, Mr. PK got us going shorthanded Doucet (8) SH 5:57 1st period Furlong | #GoMooseGo pic.twitter.com/wBzPaAbnBP. Carter Mazur, LW University of Denver (NCAA), Age: 20 Time will tell.". Injuries have slowed down his development and his offensive game may never materialize at the NHL level. 4 Detroit Red Wings. Ht/Wt: 6-8/247 Hes very creative. NHL.com is providing in-depth prospect analysis for each of its 32 teams from Aug. 8-Sept. 8. Berggren has clear line-driving upside and an ingenuity to his game that helps him create plays out of nothing, surprise defenders and goalies, and spend a lot of his time dictating with the puck on his stick, layering stop-ups and low-to-high players into carrying sequences. The Detroit Red Wings selected Albert Johansson with the 60th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Level Draft.

Due to the consistency and reliability he displays at a range of levels, he earns spot number 15 on my list. Its starting to feel like he might be the rare exception to the rule (one that says that almost no forwards his size ever make it as more than fourth-liners). Buium could be ready to begin his pro career as soon as this spring when the college season ends.

Honorable mention: William Wallinder, Theodor Niederbach and Eemil Viro.

So far in the Kelly Cup Playoffs, Cossa has played in three games with a 4-1-0 record and a .950 SV%. 6 in 2019.

As part of a multi-year extended partnership, the Michigan-based retailer will have its brand marks featured on the sleeves of Detroit's home and away jerseys, beginning with Thursday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox. Berggren closed out the campaign riding an 11-game point streak. 1.

There are several defensemen after Edvinsson in the Red Wings pool who project as No. Having played in nine games in the Kelly Cup Playoffs, he has been a large part of the Walleyes dominant success thus far. Thats not who Nedeljkovic was last season. The Red Wings carried three goalies for a while, but Nedeljkovic hadnt played for the Red Wings in more than a month when they put him on waivers. When the Red Wings needed to fill a defensive vacancy towards the end of the season and turned to Simon Edvinsson, that could have easily been Johansson if he had not been hurt. Amadeus Lombardi, forward: The 2022 fourth-round pick has overcome skepticism about his lack of size, enjoying a sensational season, scoring 102 points in Flint (OHL) this past season and assisting in his first pro game with the Griffins. "He's a good prospect," Yzerman said. Mazur, a 2021 third-round pick, was a key player on Denver's NCAA championship team as a freshman, then had 22 goals in 40 games this past season.

William Wallinder, defenseman: A mobile 6-foot-3 defenseman who had 19 assists and 26 points for Rogle (Sweden), Wallinder came to North America late in the season but only played one game with the Griffins before getting hurt.

Not only is he a great player on the ice, he has a wide range of skills off the ice, a tenacious work ethic, and a contagious personality. He's real competitive. Lucas.

Let's look at the top-six prospects in the Detroit Red Wings organization. Ht/Wt: 6-3/220 6. Thursday's quarterfinals, split between arenas in Tampere, Finland and Riga, Latvia, the . Unfortunately, he was in net for the Walleyes first loss of the postseason as the Idaho Steelheads defeated them 3-0 on the road, snapping their eight-game winning streak.

The best story in the Red Wings pool these last two years, Mazurs play at Denver has become a real talking point in college hockey circles. He'll likely take the next step to Grand Rapids next season. His style of play is rather sneaky and assertive and he has grown more into this role as each season has passed. Hes also a good skater who never lacks in effort and always stops on pucks. His sophomore season in the NCAA has him scoring 12 goals in his first 15 games, but only five assists. "He's really a good little player. The series, which includes in-depthevaluations and commentary from sources on nearly 500 prospects, runs from Jan. 9 to Feb. 8.
