Plymouth — Concluding Saturday in USA Hockey Arena, some of the best junior hockey players in the world are participating in something akin to a training camp and exhibition series, the World Junior Summer Showcase, under the watchful eyes of NHL scouts and management.
The Red Wings are better represented among the rosters of Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States than they were last year.
When Canada belatedly added Michael Rasmussen to its roster to fill a gap created by injury, it meant that six of the Wings’ nine picks in the first three rounds of the last two drafts were in town, plus a sixth-round pick from 2016.
