The Red Wing’s prospect pipeline is one of the deepest in the league, with talent developing in a variety of leagues. Some of these prospects are extremely close to not only making the roster, but becoming a mainstay of the Detroit Red Wings.
In the 2020-21 season, we have seen Taro Hirose, Givani Smith, Evgeny Svechnikov and others head up to the main roster to fill injuries, but they did not become a permanent member of lineup.
