This is the first look st the prospects in Detroit's system. Many are prospects with a future in Detroit and some are solid players who may not make the cut, Many young talented players will do thier best to impress Red Wings management enough to play pro hockey next season. While some may be a couple of years away, there are some players that will surprise and make their pro debuts this upcoming season. Some will see time with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL and some may be lucky enough to grab a spot with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League. This is the first step of many to becoming the players hoped for when they brought them into the fold. Hard work pays off but who will be the ones to go the extra mile?
