The Detroit Red Wings' upcoming NHL prospect tournament in Traverse City will feature a strong lineup of young talent, highlighted by two first-round picks: Nate Danielson and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard.
Nate Danielson selected ninth overall in 2023, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, chosen 15th overall in 2024, will lead the charge for Detroit as they face the Dallas Stars.
Other notable draftees are joined, including defenseman Shai Buium and center Emmitt Finnie and Ondrej Becher. Goalies Carter Gylander, Landon Miller, and left-wingers Hunter Johannes and Alexandre Doucet will also be participating. Fans will get their first glimpse of free-agent addition Jakub Rychlovsky, who led the Czech Extraliga in goals last season. Additionally, Carson Bantle, Gabriel Seger, and goalie Gage Alexander, acquired in a trade, will be part of the roster.
The rest of the team will feature free-agent invites, eager to make a strong impression and secure a spot in the main training camp. The Detroit Red Wings and Stars will clash in two games on September 14 and 15, offering a valuable preview of Detroit's promising future talent.
