One prospect in particular is catching the eyes of hockey enthusiast around the league, and its Shai Buium. Buium just came off of a stellar campaign with the university of Denver, where they found championship glory winning the NCAA title in the frozen four. Detroit has struggled tremendously on their blue line, and they will be looking to Buium to make the next jump to the pro level to help bolster the Red Wings back end.
Buium will likely spend next season developing in the Red Wings farm system in Grand Rapids, with one AHL game already under his belt, Griffins head coach Kevin Allen has some high praise for the young defender. But the Detroit fanbase can rest assured knowing they have an all-star in the making. This year for the University of Denver, Shai Buim notched 36 points in 43 regular season games and was a +33 rating on the ice.
