One organizational prospect who will most likely not leap to North America next season is Swedish defenseman Axel Sandin Pellikka according to Max Bultman of The Athletic. Originally the 17th player off the board in the 2023 NHL Draft, Sandin Pellikka’s career projections took a massive jump this season as he scored 10 goals and 18 points through 39 games in the SHL. In international play, Sandin Pellikka famously scored two goals and six points in 10 games for Team Sweden at the most recent IIHF World Junior Championships, becoming one of the more impactful players in the tournament.

2023 second-round pick Andrew Gibson has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings beginning in 2024-25, per a team announcement. The 19-year-old defenseman will immediately report to AHL Grand Rapids, which leads Rockford 1-0 in their best-of-five Central Division Semifinal series.
Gibson will get his first taste of professional hockey for now, but the right-shot blue-liner will likely return to major junior play next season. He doesn’t turn 20 until February 2025, making him ineligible for a full-time assignment to the AHL. As he’s not expected to compete for an NHL roster spot just yet, the Red Wings will return him to the Ontario Hockey League’s Soo Greyhounds next season and slide the first year of his ELC to 2025-26.
The Ontario native is coming off a decent post-draft season. In 68 games with the Greyhounds, he finished seventh on the club in points with 44 (12 goals, 32 assists) and led them with a +36 rating. He added two assists and a +5 rating in 11 playoff games as the Greyhounds were eliminated in the second round by the Saginaw Spirit.

Nice Gibson is looking like a good pick. If both he & ASP work out we could be set at RD for a long time.DelHowLich wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 4:01 pm 2023 second-round pick Andrew Gibson has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings beginning in 2024-25, per a team announcement.
