Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff took note of the fact that Red Wings prospect and 2025 draft pick Michal Pradel has his “pick of the litter” after being selected by the WHL’s Regina Pats in the CHL Import draft today:
In all likelihood, he’ll be back again playing for the Tri-City Storm of the USHL.
“Yeah, probably yes,” Pradel said. “I like Tri-City so much. They gave me a lot of games in a short amount of time. So I really like it there.”
Unless . . .
“We will see what is happening also in the CHL Draft,” Pradel was adding quickly.
Well, something happened, and it happened quickly. The WHL Regina Pats made Pradel the fourth overall selection of Thursday’s draft.
Now, when it comes to his decision as to where he’ll play next season, Pradel is a young man with options.
