And that post isn't meant to be a big knock against Kaspar. He might turn out to be a fine NHL player. But my point is that the "next wave of prospects" that is used to urge patience and justify another down year is made up of a bunch of mid-1st rounders that show promise but are still just potential. None are can't miss top 3 draftees. So sure, have hope for 2026 or 2027, but for now I'm tempering my expectations, as we can't assume yet that the Wings' prospect pool is going to drastically outperform their original draft positions.
