The Detroit Red Wings have posted their updated prospect tournament roster on Pointstreak, and the team chose to add an 8th defenseman to the mix.
Jeremie Biakabutuka is a 6’4,” 203-pound defenseman who’s played for Val-d’Or, Rimouski and now the Charlottetown Islanders of the QMJHL.
He hasn’t dazzled in the points category, but the 20-year-old is a big hunk of guy who will provide depth wearing #63 for the Wings.
And yes, his uncle is Tim Biakabutuka.
