Here are some bold predictions for the 2019 draft class as this offseason progresses on. The Red Wings have forty contracts out of fifty available going into the NHL Draft this year. This leaves room for some free agency signings which should definitely happen, *cough cough* DEFENSEMAN!
I would speculate that Morit Seider, Antti Tuomisto, Albert Johansson, Albin Grewe, and Kirill Tyutyayev will automatically get their entry-level contracts and end up with Grand Rapids. Mastrosimone is a possibility since he was a second-round selection, but he is committed to play college hockey at Boston University alongside fifth-round selection Ethan Phillips, so they may let these boys get some NCAA experience under their belt.

Cooper Moore will definitely have the chance to play at the University of North Dakota for his NCAA experience before he gets his entry-level contract. Carter Gylander is going to have time to develop like Filip Larsson, as I mentioned above. Gustav Berglund and Elmer Söderblom are both coming from the Frolunda HC organization, so the Red Wings might allow those two to play together some before they get entry-level contracts. Söderblom is also only seventeen, so it would be shocking to see him get signed immediately.
