There are no right answers (other than mine.)
Who are the 5 most underrated Red Wings prospects/
Here are mine
1) Andreas Athansiou - World class speed. He can function in Darren Helm type role, perhaps on the Wing. If he continues to learn the game and develop, this kid might turn into a star.
2) Alexei Marchenko -- In terms of potential, I think compares pretty favorably to Xavier Ouellete. Marchenko has been a leader. He's got an NHL type frame. He moves well and ability on both ends of the ice.
3) Marek Tvrdon -- Another injury plagued campaign for the big (6'2, 217) Slovakian winger. Everyone compares Jurco to Hossa, but Tvrdon's game more closely mirrors Hossa's.
4) Nick Jensen -- A great skater with decent size and a right hand shot. He might challenge for a job sooner than people think.
5) Mike McKee -- A year after his draft, Mckee is getting ready for college at Western. He's probably going to spend 2-3 years in college (if he doesn't get expelled for on-ice violence) before going to the AHL. But he's huge. And this team needs a huge defenseman with snarl like he has.
