Hronek, Zadina, other youngsters play their way into Red Wings' plans for brighter days

Detroit – There’s no denying the Detroit Red Wings had a miserable season.

The poor record and resulting team statistics show that to be true.

But, along with the losses, there was some encouraging development among some of the young prospects not named Tyler Bertuzzi, Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha.

Players such as Filip Hronek and Filip Zadina, plus late season call-up Gustav Lindstrom. And in Grand Rapids, recent draft picks Michael Rasmussen, Moritz Seider, Givani Smith, Evgeny Svechnikov and Joe Veleno all took steps toward becoming capable NHL players.
