from Dana Wakiji of DetroitRedWings.com,

The Detroit Red Wings do not plan to leave any stone unturned when it comes to developing their young prospects.

Shawn Horcoff, director of player development, and Dan Cleary, player development assistant, are in constant contact with all the young players in the organization, whether they're in junior hockey, college hockey or over in Europe.

Now the Wings have added Brandon Naurato, managing partner and director of player development for Total Package Hockey, as a consultant.

"I had a meeting with Kris Draper (assistant to the general manager) and really my big thing this year was I clipped every single goal scored in the NHL this year and just started identifying trends and how to manufacture offense," Naurato said in a phone interview Monday.
