The countdown to Opening Night is on, and the Detroit Red Wings have some tough decisions to make. In this episode of Hockeytown Rundown, we’re joined by special guest Michael Devellano to break down the rookie race and predict who cracks the roster when the puck drops on Thursday.

✅ Breaking down standout rookie performances

"why would you send him down?" FINALLY!!!!!! Someone is not a beta male. ASP is ready now! I haven't seen anyone walk the line like that…at his age, I dunno what the comparison would be. I was close to pulling out whatever hair I have left with all these weak Wings podcasters, including these two, with their "send him down he is close…" FFS, this is a non playoff team not the Panthers.
My take 3 will make it: Finney, Nygard and ASP. Steve will deal or waive the deadwood
No Berggren in the lineup tonight. All 3 and Danny should make the team regardless of injuries he should be healthy by opening night.
Compher is from Chicago send him to the suckhawks with connor bebust
BTW Finney did not get the love he deserved in this podcast. I have been posting over and over the past 3 weeks that this guy will be an all-star within 5 years. Mark it down.. Watch Larkin's goal in the last Leafs game. 90% of the credit goes to Finney dominating on the board. He was a one man forecheck, controlled the puck then passed to Chariot; Larkin then banged it home. None of that happens without Finney on that play. He skates like Kariya and wins pucks like Zetterberg. IMO, you can't dream up a better fit for the top LW as a rookie alongside Larkin
Off with breg and Morgan’s brother
Honestly what else does ASP and MBN have to do and prove they deserve spots? Even Finnie and Nate. Finnie would be the odd one out considering his lack of pro experience vs the others. Raymond had to beat out Bobby Ryan and got lucky Vrana got injured but even without the injury he still would have made the team 10/10 times
Toronto is playing their B team tonight so all cylinders should be flowing this game with a W pay extra close attention to Compher if he is the odd man out
Bear didn't just rupture his achillies, it was a laceration from a skate
Detroit Red Wings prospects depth chart 25 years and younger:
Finnie Kasper Raymond
Bear Plante MBN
Soderblom Danielson Buchelnikov
Lombardi Genborg Mazur
Kiiskinen, Svercek, NDN, Becher
Edvidsson Seider
Johansson ASP
Buium Johansson
Wallinder JBD
Tyurin Tuomisto
Augustine
Cossa
Guimond
Nate, Fin, MBN and ASP all need to be on this team this year. Change my mind 🤷🏼♂️
Bear signed his entry level, he cant play college hockey. Theres no way now.
Holl and Gusto Waived this morning!
Rasmussen needs to go. What a waste of a giant frame. ASP and MBN look outstanding.
Middle guy just keeps yapping over everyone.
