Here's the most intriguing prospect for the Detroit Red Wings
If there's been a glaring omission among the Detroit Red Wings draft picks during the Steve Yzerman era, it's been the appearance of a diamond in the rough.
However, the Red Wings may have found one in left-winger Emmitt Finnie, the 201st player chosen in the 2023 NHL entry draft.
Already under contract and with three AHL games for the Grand Rapids Griffins, Finnie is showing promising signs. Detroit's director of player development, Dan Cleary, is optimistic about Finnie's rapid progress, noting his physical growth and smart positional play.
Finnie, who logged 19 goals and led his team with 59 points in 62 games for the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL, has taken on a larger role with the rebuilding team. While the Red Wings are impressed with his development, they encourage him to embrace more confidence and swagger on the ice. At 19, Finnie will return to Kamloops for his final junior season before turning pro.
