As one of the better offensive players during the preseason, Scheifele signs his entry-level contract. Scheifele scored 22 goals and 75 points in 66 games with the Barrie Colts of the OHL. Expect at least a nine-game tryout with the big club.
Nyquist continues his preseason tear, making the Red Wings makes some very tough decisions. Last season, this collegiate standout scored 18 goals and 51 points through 36 games with the University of Maine before playing eight games for the Grand Rapid Griffins. Although he will start the season in the AHL, keep his name in mind for the future.

With PA Parenteau skating a good amount with the third line, the Isles may try El Nino on the top line to start the season. The former WHL standout scored a goal and as assist in his 9-game tryout last season.
Only Tomas Tatar ranks higher among the Red Wings' offensive prospects. While he should start the season in the AHL, make note of his name for the future.
Niederreiter sounds confident in his ability to make the team but will need to knock an established NHL player out of the way to do so. In his nine-game stint last season, the rookie posted a goal and an assist.
The 5th overall pick has nothing left to prove at the WHL level but the Islanders would probably prefer not to rush their bluechip prospect.
No direct fantasy hockey advice, just an excellent tidbit to remember down the road.
