The Daily Faceoff\u2019s ranking<\/a> of the Detroit Red Wings\u2019 2025 prospect pool as 11th in the NHL is too close to average to make Detroit\u2019s fan base very happy. The threat of missing of the playoffs for a 10th consecutive season is already too much for fans to process. Having a prospect group unable to crack the Top 10 just adds fuel to the frustration.<\/p>\n

Steve Ellis of Daily Faceoff views Detroit\u2019s situation as a mixture of pain and hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Red Wings might look like a mess on paper,\u201d Daily Faceoff\u2019s Steven Ellis writes, \u201cwith many not expecting the team to make the playoffs again in 2025-26. Last year saw the promotion of Simon Edvinsson, Marco Kasper, and Elmer Soderblom to the big club, with the first two playing significant roles throughout the season. That alone is good, and while there\u2019s a real chance not a single new prospect will earn a full-time gig this coming year, there\u2019s plenty of talent on the way up. \u201d<\/p>\n

Ellis lists Detroit\u2019s top three prospects<\/a> as Axel Sandin Pellikka, Trey Augustine, and Sebastian Cossa in that order.<\/p>\n

There is some good news for Detroit followers in the Daily Faceoff analysis. The Montreal Canadiens, ranked No. 2 for their prospect pool, are the only Atlantic Division team ranked ahead of Detroit. The Buffalo Sabres sit 16th, and the Boston Bruins are 21st.<\/p>\n

Red Wings In Case You Missed It<\/p>\n

Defenseman Anton Johansson<\/a> is contractually obligated to return to his SHL team if he doesn\u2019t play for the Red Wings. But he\u2019s in his good situation in Sweden. His father is his team\u2019s general manager.<\/p>\n

Detroit prospect Ondrej Becher<\/a> is accustomed to navigating the most challenging path to success. He\u2019s hoping for a breakthrough season in Grand Rapids.<\/p>\n

Pavel Datsyuk\u2019s<\/a> farewell press conference left the media laughing about his joke about the likelihood that the Red Wings will retire his number.<\/p>\n

Red Wings Extra<\/p>\n

Red Wings 2025 seventh-round pick Grayden Robertson-Palmer (204th, 2025) shows four points (one goal, three assists) for the Moncton Wildcats in two QMJHL preseason games. Noah Dower Nilsson (73rd, 2023) posted three shots on goal, no points, in 13:12 of playing time for Frolunda in a 5-2 Champions League game against Lausanne HC.<\/p>\n
