I know the series is supposed to be "Top 25 Under 25" because symmetry like that is cool. I can’t write about current Detroit Red Wings prospects and not talk about defenseman James de Haas, though, so thank/blame everybody else for letting me indulge in writing this piece. This won’t be the first time I’ll have written about de Haas in this space, and I sure hope it won’t be the last.
