Three Detroit Red Wings prospects who have the core-tier level for the NHL

While Will Scouch's rankings are concise and straightforward, Kaitlyn Glaza adds her insights, providing a different take on the Detroit Red Wings' future core players.

Here's a summary of the three prospects she highlights:

1. Nate Danielson
Reliable two-way player, physical, disciplined, with high-end potential. Nate Danielson has shown consistent improvement, and while some fans might rank him ahead of Marco Kasper, Kaitlyn Glaza sees them as quite similar in their potential and style of play. She anticipates Nate Danielson may spend the upcoming season in the AHL, developing further before pushing for a full-time role with the Detroit Red Wings.

2. Albert Johansson
Feisty, intelligent, and communicative, Albert Johansson has the potential to be a key defensive piece for Detroit. His ability to read plays, kill the cycle, and transition the puck effectively makes him an integral part of the future Detroit Red Wing's defence. Kaitlyn Glaza sees him as a possible partner for players like Moritz Seider or Axel Sandin-Pellikka, contributing significantly to the game's defensive and offensive aspects.

3. Shai Buium
Shai Buium is a unique and intriguing prospect who doesn't fit neatly into traditional defensemen categories. He brings a mix of two-way play, physicality, and reliability that Kaitlyn Glaza finds particularly exciting. His humility and strong team-oriented mindset make him a player who could become a lifelong Detroit Red Wing, contributing to the core of the lineup in ways that might be unexpected but invaluable.
