The Detroit Red Wings’ young players fared fairly well over the course of NHL.com’s three lists of their top 10 players under 25, as separated into forwards, defensemen and goaltenders.
Lucas Raymond was omitted from their top 10 forwards list, but both Simon Edvinsson and Moritz Seider cracked the top 10 defensemen’s list
Today, Red Wings goaltending prospect Trey Augustine makes Kevin Woodley’s list of the top 10 goaltending prospects under 25, though Sebastian Cossa‘s been omitted:
6. Trey Augustine, Detroit Red Wings
The only other goalie on this list yet to play in the NHL, Augustine wasn’t far behind [Jacob] Fowler despite the fact he is going back to Michigan State University for a third season in the fall. Praised for his mature approach almost as much as his skills and strong technical game, the 20-year-old already has won two gold medals and one bronze with the United States at the IIHF World Junior Championship, including gold as the starter last season.
Cossa may have fallen off NHL.com’s hype train, but he’s still an extremely highly-regarded prospect, and the 22-year-old Cossa and Augustine give the Red Wings significant and high-quality depth in the crease.
