Detroit Red Wings announce several huge additions to their roster in major announcement

The Detroit Red Wings will begin assessing players for roster spots soon.

With training camp starting up, the NHL season will soon be underway, as teams look to whittle down rosters to the best of the best.

The team has added some reinforcements in order to bring some competitiveness to training camp, and some of the players you may not have heard of.

We should expect players like Axel Sandin-Pellika, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and Carter Bear to be there.

However, there are no notable PTOs.

The team has added multiple players from the Grand Rapids Griffins and some invitees outside of the regular roster in order to foster competition this season.

Forwards: Carson Bantle, Liam Kilfoil, and Vincent Collard.

Defense: Carl-Otto Magnusson, Jacob Truscott, Nicklas Andrews, Justice Christensen, Maxim Dirracolo, Wyatt Kennedy, and Alex Kannok Leipert.

It appears that General Manager Steve Yzerman believes that the team needs more help on the blue line.

He's not wrong, but will the solution come from the AHL or a camp invite?

Magnusson is of note, as he's a towering 6-foot-7, 225-pound defensive defenseman and could be one player who stands out among the pack in Detroit this preseason.

According to Detroit Hockey Now, he knows how to utilize his size and his stick to play a smart and sound game on the ice.

He last suited up for Frolunda last season.
