Now that we're past the draft and free agency it's time for the yearly /r/DetroitRedWings prospect ranking thread! As for how you vote it's completely up to you: some may weigh ceiling or upside the highest, others may weigh NHL readiness higher – there's no wrong answer on how to vote.
A new poll will be posted every 2-3 days depending on how close the voting is until we finish the top 15 prospects. I'll include 10~ prospects every poll and will add one new prospect after each poll so discuss in the comments and whoever is mentioned most will be added next.
Check out the subreddit's previous rankings here (starting from 2018!): LINK HERE
NOTES:
– Prospect criteria will be defined using the NHL Guidelines.
– After last season's rankings there was a poll to determine whether or not to display poll results. Continuing to hide the results between polls received the most votes.

I’m gonna guess it is like 90% Nate
It’s a tough call for me between Cossa and Danielson, but I think I’ll go with Cossa. His ceiling is so damn high, and he just put up a statistically better season than both Askarov and Wallstedt. We probably see Danielson earn a job in Detroit sooner, but Cossa’s impact if he hits will probably be higher than Danielson.
After watching the 3 on 3 prospect tourney, it’s Danielson.
Looking at the past years 2018 and 2019 are just gruesome. The prospect pool has come a long long way
[Here’s my rough list of prospects to add later](https://i.imgur.com/DXIWF8y.png). Who would you all like to see added to the next poll? Anyone missing?
It is Danielson and it’s not even close
I missed the 3 on 3 tournament. Heard Danielson was lighting it up. Think he’s ready for the big club come fall if he stays with it?
Was waiting for this one! Whenever the prospect rating comes it’s proof the new season soon is here!
One of my favorite yearly traditions!
Just curious, do we count Jakub Rychlovsky or does he not count as a prospect because of his experience in the Czech league?
Best part of the offseason right here.
Who do yall think are the biggest risers and fallers from last year’s list? I think Augustine should be much higher this year but that’s my personal view.
Damn lol Berggrens been in our system for a long ass time
Joe hicketts was number 10 wow
Danielson clears
ASP is comfortably our best prospect imo if you remove Edvinsson.
He and Cossa have the highest upside, but I think ASP is slightly more projectable atm.
I see ASP as having top pair upside, both Cossa and Augustine have starting goaltender upside, then I think Danielson has second line center upside. MBN could be a second line winger, but he might be more projectable as a third line winger. Ditto for Mazur. Kasper too looks like a projectable third line center. Then Wallinder, Buium, Johansson, and the like project as second or third pair guys.
What is everyone’s thought on Danielson on the wing to start? Similar to how Larkin started on Zetterberg’s line. Could then move Tarasenko to the 3rd line and potentially move Danielson to 2nd line center the year after. Idk it’s the offseason and I’m going thru withdrawals already.
Edvinsson if he still counts, dude’s a bonafide NHLer as far as I’m concerned.
Danielson comes a close second to me, I get flashes of really high level talent with him, I think he probably ends up as our 2C, but there’s a believer part of me that thinks there’s more offence to unlock once he plays with some NHL talent.
ASP, Cossa, Mazur all really good options too
