Khan spotlights 10 prospects to watch in Traverse City

MLive’s Ansar Khan posted a list of 10 prospects who bear watching during the Red Wings’ prospect tournament, and aside from the star players, I’m curious to find out whether this prospect can round into form after battling multiple knee injuries…

Axel Holmstrom

Position: Center

Height/Weight: 6-1/200

Age: 22

Acquired: 2014 seventh round (No. 196)

2017-18 team: Grand Rapids (AHL)

2017-18 stats: 66 games, 7 goals, 19 assists, 26 points

He didn’t have a big impact in his first full pro season with the Griffins. He’ll return to Grand Rapids, where he hopes to put up better numbers while finding his niche as either a top six forward or a checking-line center.

Khan continues…
