With Zetterberg unavailable for camp, the Wings have 10 NHL regulars up front, along with the booming right-handed shot of Martin Frk.
Michael Rasmussen, a center drafted ninth overall in 2017, is expected to be ready to grab a job after a standout performance in the 2018 WHL playoffs (14 goals and 17 assists for 33 points in 14 games).
Holland named the other top forward prospects as Filip Zadina, Evgeny Svechnikov and Dominic Turgeon. Zadina is a scorer drafted sixth overall in June, and Svechnikov is a big winger acquired in the 2015 first round. Turgeon could perhaps serve as fourth-line center, while a guy like Luke Glendening jumps up to center the third line, and Frans Nielsen and Dylan Larkin center the top two lines...
On the back end, Holland named Libor Sulak, Filip Hronek, Dennis Cholowski and Joe Hicketts as top prospects on defense.
“We are going to have a real good look at those young players in training camp,” Holland said, adding that each player could get into five-to-six exhibition games.
“We’re going to give every opportunity for our young players to make the team. If we think they are best served by being in Detroit, we’ll make room for them.”
