Here's the Detroit Red Wings prospect who appears to be the most NHL-ready

Despite early setbacks, including a leg injury that kept him out of last year's rookie tournament, Mazur returned with an impressive debut season for the Grand Rapids Griffins, scoring 17 goals in 60 regular-season games. His performance in the Calder Cup playoffs, with 8 points in 9 games, further highlighted his potential.

Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman has expressed excitement about Mazur's progress, particularly his work to build strength. Mazur's quick release and shooting ability have also caught the attention of veteran players like Patrick Kane, who praised his shot during a team scrimmage.

Mazur, who draws comparisons to Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand, is known for his gritty play and ability to score in key moments. His former coach and current Red Wings assistant GM Kris Draper noted Mazur's competitiveness, intelligence, and determination to improve as key qualities that will eventually land him a spot on Detroit's roster.

While Mazur may not make the Red Wings out of this camp, his rise to the NHL seems inevitable.
