Defensemen Simon Edvinsson and Albert Johansson, along with forward Jonatan Berggren , are strong candidates for roster spots, thanks to their talent and contract status. Meanwhile, promising forwards like Carter Mazur, Nate Danielson, and Marco Kasper have shown they deserve serious consideration during training camp.
For a team that has relied heavily on veteran depth, this influx of youthful energy represents a significant shift. Coach Derek Lalonde is enthusiastic about the potential these prospects bring, acknowledging the "energy of youth" as a driving force that could push the team to new heights. However, the road to the NHL is fraught with challenges, and these young players must navigate their strengths and weaknesses during camp. With limited roster spots and high competition, the preseason will be crucial in determining how many of these prospects earn their Wings.
