Bad news for Detroit Red Wings prospect Axel Sandin-Pellikka

However, it has been confirmed that while Michael Brandsegg-Nygard will attend, Axel Sandin-Pellikka will remain in Sweden.

Axel Sandin Pellikka, the Detroit Red Wings' 17th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, has decided not to participate in the camp. This decision came directly from Axel Sandin-Pellikka despite earlier reports suggesting he might attend. Instead, the Swedish defenseman will continue developing with Skelleftea in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

On the other hand, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard was selected 15th overall in the 2024 NHL Draft and has already begun showcasing his skills in the SHL preseason. Known for his powerful shot, he immediately scored a top-shelf one-timer in his debut game. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's attendance at the Detroit Red Wings camp will allow fans and management to evaluate his readiness for the NHL further.

As for Axel Sandin-Pellikka's decision to stay in Sweden, it could be seen as a move to gain more experience and maturity before jumping to North American hockey.
