Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press answers questions from the fans and once again you can figure out the question by her answer.

Michael Rasmussen, the ninth overall pick from 2017, is having a standout season in juniors (25 goals, 27 assists after 42 games). The Tri-City Americans’ regular season schedule runs through March 18, and they are in a fight to make the Western Hockey League playoffs. Once the Americans are out, Rasmussen will go to Grand Rapids.

The Wings’ 2016 first-round pick, defenseman Dennis Cholowski, is having a stellar season (14 goals, 50 assists in 64 games) and his Portland Winterhawks already have clinched a playoff berth. He, too, will go to the Griffins (provided they are in the playoffs) once his season ends.

Cholowski, 20, will play pro next season. Rasmussen, 18, has another year of junior eligibility. He will either have to make the Wings’ squad, or go back to juniors. He looked good during Wings training camp, and he’s expected to make a push next fall to stay with Detroit. Cholowski might not make the Wings out of camp, but I’d expect to see him in Detroit at some point next season.
