Rosters Out For NHL Prospect Tournament Teams

Red Wings fans will get a glimpse of their team’s future beginning Wednesday in Traverse City. Detroit plays the Dallas Stars Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

The Red Wings’ social media channels will live-stream the games.

The rosters for three of the four teams participating in this week’s prospects tournament have been announced. Dallas, Columbus  and Toronto prospects will compete against the Red Wings in three games.

Toronto, as of Monday night, has yet to announce which players will be spending the weekend looking to make a lasting impression.

The Blue Jackets will send their last four first-round picks to Traverse City, where they are competing for the 21st year.

Dallas is sending three former first-rounders to Traverse City. Lian Bischel, Dallas’ top pick in 2022, will make his North American debut after signing with Dallas over the summer. Another, Logan Stankoven, is considered a candidate to make the Stars out of training camp. Michigan native — forward Antonio Stranges (Plymouth) also is on the Dallas roster,

Red Wings prospects to watch include Carter Mazur, Elmer Soderholm and Amadeus Lombardi, all of whom hope to build on  impressive 2022-23  seasons.
