Nate Danielson, Red Wings prospect
Nate Danielson will be playing for the Red Wings in their upcoming NHL prospect tournament.

Two first-round picks will be leading the Detroit Red Wings into their NHL prospect games against the Dallas Stars in Traverse City.

Center Nate Danielson (ninth overall, 2023) and right-winger Michael Brandsegg-Nygard (15th overall, 2024) will be heading the list of players who will be on future watch for Detroit. They are among seven Red Wings draftees who will be suiting up for the two games against the Stars.

Others include defenseman Shai Buium (36th overall, 2021), centers Emmitt Finnie (201st, 2023) and Ondrej Becher (80th, 2024), and goalies Carter Gylander (191st, 2019) and Landon Miller (126th, 2024). Left-wingers Hunter Johannes, who played last season with the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins, and Alexandre Doucet, who split his rookie pro campaign between the Griffins and ECHL Toledo Walleye, are also playing.

Red Wings fans will get a good look at offseason free-agent addition left-winger Jakub Rychlovsky, who led the Czech Extraliga in goals last season. Left-winger Carson Bantle and center Gabriel Seger, free-agent additions to the Griffins, are also on the roster. As well, goalie Gage Alexander, acquired from Anaheim in the Robby Fabbri trade, will be sharing in the netminding chores. He spent last season in the ECHL with Tulsa.

Free Agent Invites Rounding Out Red Wings Roster

The remainder of the team will be comprised of free agent invites. They’ll all be hoping to make enough of an impression so that the Red Wings will be extending them an invitation to the club’s main training camp.

Among the hopefuls in this group are right-wingers Borya Valis (Prince George, WHL), Charlie Paquette (Guelph, OHL) and Dylan Edwards (Erie, OHL), centers Chase Lefebvre (Peterborough, OHL), Brayden Edwards (Lethbridge, WHL), defensemen Matthew Virgilio (Sault Ste. Marie, OHL), Bauer Dumanski (Prince George, WHL) John Van Mulligen (Medicine Hat, WHL), Blake Smith (Flint, OHL), Marcus Kearsey (Charlottetown, QMJHL) and Zack Sandhu (Oshawa, OHL).

The Red Wings and Stars will play two games. The two teams will be facing off on Saturday, September. 14 at 6 p.m.. They will be meeting again on Sunday, September 15 at 2:30 p.m.

MBN or Danielson making this roster would be great. Some youth infusion is needed for sure.

I think Carter Mazur and Marco Kasper are more likely because they have a year of experience in the American League. Danielson will get that this year and MBN is further away than that. MBN will get a year in Sweden and then a year in GR. He is 18 years old. Danielson is now 20 years old. I want to see him in GR and see how he does.

Wings roster spot holder and Winger Alexandre Doucet. 52ga 19g 22a 41pts +18 First year of A 3 YR improved his defensive game with the Walleye and recently had good things going on in rookie camp this Spring. He’s in year 2 of 3. They’ll be evaluating his value in T/C. Ideally he’ll earn a spot in GR. Good luck to him.

Mark you could be right . I saw Doucet in Toledo last year twice and I was impressed by him. He plays with some grit and has skill. The Wings do a good job of making sure young guys play regularly. Sometimes they have too many young guys at GR, and send them to the Walleye for game action instead of sitting in Grand Rapids. The ECHL is a step down from the American League but is still a good league with lots of prospects. Its especially good for young goalies to play a lot of games and face a lot of shots.

Doucet can skate pass has good hands and a high percentage shot often from in close. He showed he can be responsible too. He has enough size to hit people which he may be asked to do more of.Probably he’s ready for GR but he’ll have to really prove it. He could be a nice surprise to some folks in T/C.

Easy to see why this tournament is no more. 3 players on the Wings worth watching. Mostly free agents with no shot. This tournament is done like dinner.

Agree with you Ken. One other NHL team isn’t much of a tournament. Agree also that most participants really won’t “have a shot”. BUT that means the Wing’s depth has improved.
