The Red Wings have an absolute gaggle of prospects playing in NCAA Division 1 hockey this upcoming season, but only three of them make the Hockey News’s Ryan Kennedy’s list of the “Top 100 NCAA Prospects to Watch in 2024-2025“:
21. Trey Augustine, G, Michigan State (DET): Top-end goaltender ran with the starter’s job as a freshman and won WJC gold with Team USA. Look for more elite play in his sophomore year.
57. Max Plante, LW, Minnesota-Duluth (DET): If your last name is Plante, you’re gonna play for Duluth. Max brings a nice offensive toolkit to the team after a successful NTDP career.
70. Brady Cleveland, D, Colorado College (DET): Coming over from Wisconsin, Cleveland brings size and physicality to the Tigers, who are really rounding into form.
Continued; I’d include Michigan State University captain Red Savage in there somewhere, but that’s just me.
