Checking in at #21 in the Top 25 Under 25 is Filip Larsson, the first goalie to appear on this list so far. Goaltender is a position of concern in the Red Wings current system, with no realistic options to take the reigns from the Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Bernier tandem for at least a few seasons. With the team not ready to contend until some veteran contracts are jettisoned and the youth have adequately filled the ranks, the question is will their be a keeper ready to backstop that team.
Goaltenders are always a difficult position to project especially for ones that have yet to break into the professional ranks, such is the case with Larsson currently playing in the NCAA.
