2021 Training Camp Notes
The wings took the ice in traverse city with a roster featuring 62 invited players made up of 7 goaltenders, 20 defensemen, and 35 forwards. There is excitement in the air as top prospects Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, Jonatan Berggren, and Joe Veleno are battling for playing time in the NHL. Newcomers expected to play with the parent club include D's Nick Leddy and Jordan Oesterle, netminder Alex Nedelkjovic and forwards Pius Suter, Mitchell Stephens, and Carter Rowney. One of the surprise stories of the prospects tournament was European forward Kirill "The Thrill" Tyutyayev, a Wings draft pick who played in Belarus last season. All eyes are on the diminutive forward to see if he can hold his own as the level of competition rises. Veteran Bobby Ryan was a late addition on a professional tryout contract as he attempts a comeback from injury. Injuries will play a big role in this camp as Dylan Larkin has still not been cleared for contact and top tier prospects Jared McIsaac, Jonatan Berggren, and Lucas Raymond were all nursing injuries suffered in the prospects tournament.
