Marco Kasper talked enough to Red Wings personnel and read enough Steve Yzerman quotes to understand what he needs to do to earn a roster spot on the Red Wings in October. (Detroit Hockey Now)
Edvinsson ranks 11th, making him the fourth best young prospect on defense. New Jersey’s Luke Hughes (fifth) and Simon Nemec (7th), and Columbus’ David Jiricek (eighth) are ahead of Edvinsson. (Detroit Hockey Now)
After two seasons at the University of Denver, Carter Mazur finished last season with Grand Rapids and played for the United States at the IIHF World Championship. (NHL.com)
The center, selected by the Red Wings with the No. 8 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, is expected to be one of the fresh faces that will eventually help Detroit end its seven-season Stanley Cup Playoff drought. (NHL.com)
On one hand, Edvinsson showed his potential in his brief trial with Detroit. On the other hand, Yzerman signed veteran defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Justin Holl. Detroit has six veteran defensemen. (Detroit hockey Now)
Right away, the center depth of this new projection stands out, with both Nate Danielson and Marco Kasper approaching prime age, behind a 30-year-old Dylan Larkin who projects to be at the tail end of his. (The Athletic)
Any Detroit Red Wings fan who wants to see what the team will look like when the rebuild is completed only needs to make the 157-mile drive to watch the Grand Rapids Griffins play this season. (Detroit Hockey Now)

Trading for DeBrincat and Kostin and signing Compher, Sprong and Fischer stocked the Wings with NHL forwards, and signaled that higher-ups anticipate Kasper starting with the Grand Rapids Griffins. (Detroit Free Press)
With the offseason additions Yzerman has made to the forwards, it's unlikely Kasper will make the opening night lineup. Pro seasoning in Grand Rapids was likely going to be the case regardless. (The Detroit News)
Söderblom is further along than Johansson, who could play NHL games this season. The potential for Wallinder, Cossa and Lombardi are all so intriguing that I ranked them ahead of the steady, reliable Johansson. (The Athletic)
