The Hockey News’s Ryan Kennedy posted a list of 100 players to watch in the Canadian Hockey League, which consists of the QMJHL, the OHL and the WHL. The Red Wings received three nods:
8. Sebastian Cossa, G, Edmonton (WHL): Prototypical NHL goalie of the future was snapped up by Detroit in the first round; should be Canada’s world junior starter.
…
60. Jan Bednar, G, Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL): A big netminder with a lot of potential, Bednar is a Detroit Red Wings pick starting his sophomore campaign with the Titan.
…
89. Oscar Plandowski, D, Charlottetown (QMJHL): Puckmoving defenseman part of a great blueline cast in Charlottetown. The Detroit Red Wings snapped him up in the draft.
