from Bruce MacLeod of the Macomb Daily,
With the Detroit Red Wings (unfortunately) having salary cap room because of recent injuries to Brad Stuart and Tomas Holmstrom, the franchise has finally gotten a chance to look at some top prospects in NHL action.
When Stuart and Holmstrom return, the youngsters will be gone. But since the spotlight is on them right now, here’s one man’s rankings of Detroit’s prospects. Consider this a combination of proof and potential.
1. Darren Helm, center, 21. What separates Helm from defenseman Jonathan Ericsson is that Helm has more proof. Helm was very, very good in helping the Wings win the Stanley Cup last spring, solidifying the fourth line. Helm is physical despite being of average size and very fast. If the Red Wings were to put the system’s best team on the ice, Helm would be there.
