Three prospects from the core-tier for the Detroit Red Wings who will have a significant impact in the future
Detroit Red Wings prospects Trey Agustine, Carter Mazur, and Dmitri Buchelnikov are poised to play significant roles in the team's future.
Here are three core-tier prospects worth highlighting:
Dmitri Buchelnikov
Buchelnikov, a flashy Russian winger, was drafted 52nd overall in 2022. Known for his offensive flair, he brings a different element to the Red Wings' prospect pool. Currently signed with Vityaz Moscow Region in the KHL, he'll remain in Russia until 2026, honing his skills before potentially joining Detroit's lineup. Last season, Buchelnikov posted 29 points in 55 KHL games and is expected to add firepower to the Wings' attack in the future.
Carter Mazur
Mazur is the definition of a «hockey guy.» Known for his hard work and grit, he's a versatile player capable of contributing on any line and both special teams. He's a tenacious puck-getter with an underrated shot, making him an essential piece in Detroit's future. His style fits the Red Wings' identity perfectly.
Trey Augustine
The 2023 draft pick has already earned his spot as Michigan State's starting goaltender. Calm and methodical,
Trey Augustine's mature demeanour on the net is impressive. While his ceiling is still uncertain, his potential to develop into a key part of Detroit's goaltending future is undeniable.
