At 6′ 2″, 201 lbs Dennis Cholowski is a smooth skater. Perhaps the smoothest skater of all the Detroit Red Wings defensive prospects, even better than Filip Hornek. I believe it spoke volumes in this years NHL draft that Red Wings general manager Ken Holland did not draft a defenseman in the first round. He could have moved up or down. But stayed put.
It is widely being speculated that the Detroit Red Wings will have roster spots for two defensemen when training camp opens. Filip Hornek looks to have the inside track on one roster spot.
