The Detroit Red Wings have a bunch of forwards stockpiled, and something has to give. All of the NHL experienced players are trying to fend off the NHL hopefuls. The Grand Rapids Griffins will benefit from an overflowing bucket of forwards.
Detroit will need to send some talent down. It may just come down to Evgeny Svechnikov or Filip Zadina. Zadina has skated with Thomas Vanek and Andreas Athanasiou during camp. The three have gelled nicely. The Wings will want to see how the trio performs in a preseason game.
