from Nate Brown of Detroit Hockey Now,

The Red Wings bulked up last offseason. Sitting with two first-round picks and three second-round choices, Detroit can add more to the prospect pipeline. There’s also the possibility of trading the capital, too.

But before those decisions even occur, how are the prospects in the system currently doing and might they find their way to Detroit next season? Here’s a look at a couple in a two-part series.

Marco Kasper
Stats: 51 Games; 23 points (8-15)

Kasper is a prototypical Yzerman pick. High hockey IQ, polished, and from the looks of it, excellent character.

Kasper was recently the recipient of the Granitpucken Award, which is given to a Rogle player every year. According to the team, Kasper has shown “incredible professionalism” and who leads with his “attitude and play.”...

Simon Edvinsson
Stats: 47 games; 26 points (5-21)

Probably the most anticipated prospect to make his Detroit debut, Edvinsson has gotten stronger as the year has gone on and will undoubtedly make his NHL start with the Red Wings when camp breaks next year. Then again if things continue on the positive track, might he make his way up for a cup of coffee this season?...
