2019 Training Camp Notes |
---|
The success of the Wings Prospect team winning the Matthew Wuest Memorial Cup this week has brought some hope to the rebuilding franchise while also shoving a handful of prospects into the limelight heading in to main camp. The strong play of Joe Veleno, Moritz Seider, Filip Zadina, Taro Hirose, Alec Regula, Givani Smith and Chase Pearson among several other prospects have raised expectations that several players are on the doorstep to the NHL. It appears that the retirement of Niklas Kronwall and a strong showing could lead Seider, the team's first pick in 2019, to remain in North America this season. They join Filip Hronek, Dennis Cholowski, Evgeny Svechnikov, Michael Rasmussen and Joe Hicketts as players knocking on the door to start the season in the NHL instead of the AHL as the team looks to blend in more exciting young players.
This camp marks the return of Valtteri Filppula, signed as a free agent over the summer, along with newcomers Calvin Pickard, Adam Erne and Patrick Nemeth. They will look to replace the aforementioned Kronwall, as well as Tomas Vanek and Martin Frk. The Griffins will have a new look as the organization purged both of last year's netminders as well as several key vets after a disappointing finish. Filip Larsson and Pickard should split time in the net, with the addition of several high draft choices and free agents up front. The Wings invited 67 players to camp, 8 goaltenders, 22 defenders and 37 forwards. They range in size from 5'8 (Hicketts and Casey) to 6'6 (Rasmussen) and in weight from 160 lbs. (Hirose) to 236 lbs. (McIlrath).
