The Detroit Red Wings already have a lineup chock full of prospects who have graduated to the NHL. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond are just two such examples. Marco Kasper and Axel Sandin-Pellikka are part of the next wave that’s ripped through the AHL and into prime time.
Emmitt Finnie seemingly came out of nowhere this season and has made a tremendous impact. But there’s one other prospect that could be ready to make the jump. That’s Nate Danielson.
Red Wings fans got a glimpse of Danielson in training camp this fall. He didn’t look out of place, but there just wasn’t room for him in the lineup.
