FloHockey’s Chris Peters attended the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Michigan last week, and he posted a set of evaluations of each and every one of Team USA’s defensemen and goaltenders who participated in the week-long event, including Red Wings prospect Trey Augustine:
Trey Augustine, Michigan State (DET): The presumptive starter for Team USA at the tournament after getting starts at last year’s WJC, Augustine did little to dissuade anyone from that status. He’s a contained, smart goaltender who doesn’t waste a lot of movement in the net and reads plays exceptionally well. None of the goalies in camp had spectacular numbers and Augustine never played a full 60-minute game as USA’s brass wanted more looks at other goalies. In three appearances, Augustine gave up five goals while making 34 saves in about 90 minutes of ice time.
