Detroit’s 2023 picks are thriving and one name is rising fast

The 2023 draft class for the Detroit Red Wings is starting to make noise, but the best may still be yet to come.

Recently, I wrote an article outlining the success that Emmitt Finnie and Axel Sandin-Pellikka have had through their first 30 games as Red Wings.

Sandin-Pellikka has recorded three goals and eight assists, playing top-four minutes and has seen time on both power play units.

Nate Danielson is from that same 2023 draft class, selected the highest out of three at ninth overall, joined Finnie and Sandin-Pellikka for his National Hockey League debut on Nov.
