Signing their own prospects should make other teams and fans of teams shudder a little bit more. On Saturday, the Red Wings signed Dick Axelsson and Logan Pyett to 3-year entry-level deals and will have their talents at training camp this Fall.Axelsson, 21, a Swedish forward, taken in the 2nd round, had a productive season in the Swedish Elite League. Some added seasoning in the Swedish Elite League may boost his chances to giving the Wings a good young winger to balance the books a little bit more.
Pyett, 20, a Canadian defenseman, was a late round pick and we all know how well the Red Wings do with those. Pyett played for Team Canada at the World Juniors and has now finished his junior hockey career in Regina. He may need some AHL seasoning, but this kid has plenty of upside and the Red Wings could just as easily work him into the big line-up nice & slowly.
