Two Wings In The Top 50 Prospect List

08/03/2018 at 4:36pm EDT

from Steve Steve Kournianos at The Sporting News,

Below is a list of some of the best and brightest prospects you should expect to see in the NHL either this season or next. All of the players listed below are eligible for the NHL’s Calder Trophy, and those over the age of 26 or with more than 25 games of NHL experience were left out of Sporting News' rankings....

8. Filip Zadina, LW, Red Wings

Age: 18 // Drafted: Sixth overall, 2018

A top-notch goal scorer who plays with fire and tenacity in all three zones, Zadina has perennial 30-goal potential.

24. Joe Veleno, C, Red Wings

Age: 18 // Drafted: 30th overall, 2018

Veleno has elite speed, vision and two-way play, which were consistently downplayed all season. There's a strong chance Veleno gets added to the list of previous late first rounders who could make teams regret passing on them.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
