No prospect climbed higher, faster than Petr Mrazek in the Detroit Red Wings’ system this season.
Whether he was making headlines with show-stopping performances at the IIHF world junior championship at mid-season or in the spotlight with multiple 40-save outings while leading his Ottawa 67’s to the Ontario Hockey League’s Final Four, Mrazek asserted himself as organization’s top goaltending prospect with a tremendous campaign.
The 6-foot-1 184-pounder capped it off last week when he was added to the Czech Republic’s roster as a third goaltender for the IIHF world championship in Finland.
The 20-year-old finished the OHL playoffs with a 2.54 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage in 17 starts. Two of his nine victories were 44-save performances.
Praise has come from all corners for Mrazek’s fiery competitiveness and ferocious will to keep pucks out of the net, not to mention his mixture of solid fundamentals and athleticism.
“The bigger the games, the bigger he plays,” Red Wings director of player development Jiri Fischer told The Hockey News. “He loves the crowds, he loves the pressure. He never gives up on any saves, he never gives up on any pucks, and he has all the qualities to be really successful later on.”
Strangely, Mrazek’s tremendous season didn’t get him much recognition on The Hockey News’s Future Watch prospect ranking. He was seventh on the Red Wings’ prospect list and didn’t crack the league-wide top-100. He sits fourth on RWC’s mid-season list.
Mrazek, whose three-year entry-level contract slides to begin next season, will turn pro next season and has the inside track on an American Hockey League spot with the Grand Rapids Griffins, unless incumbent Thomas McCollum significantly outplays him in training camp.
McCollum, who also enjoyed a star-studded junior career, has done little to impress as a pro.
Others making big strides this season were forwards Gustav Nyquist (Grand Rapids, AHL) and Calle Jarnkrok (Brynas, Swedish Elite League), but both had previously established themselves at the top of the organization’s prospect list.
Forward Joakim Andersson (Grand Rapids, AHL) had a breakthrough year, as did winger Tomas Jurco (Saint John, QMJHL) and defencemen Xavier Ouellet (Blainville-Boisbriand, QMJHL), Ryan Sproul (Sault Ste. Marie, OHL), Mattias Backman (Linkoping, SEL) and Nick Jensen (St. Cloud State, NCAA), among others.
NOTES: Winger Tomas Tatar (Grand Rapids, AHL) finished the season with 10 goals and nine assists for 19 points in 19 games, leaving him tied for the lead in Griffins scoring with Nyquist and Jamie Johnson in a three-way tie with 58 points. Tatar, who also had a team-best 24 goals, is representing Slovakia at the IIHF world championship … Jarnkrok tied for fourth in SEL playoff scoring with 16 points in 16 games while helping Brynas win a championship with a 4-2 series win over Skelleftea in the final. He is now representing Sweden at the IIHF world championship and showing the Red Wings what he can do at the highest international level … Forward Louis-Marc Aubry (Grand Rapids, AHL) got a shout out from Red Wings general manager Ken Holland in a Detroit News article recently. Holland listed Aubry with top-10 prospects Brendan Smith, Riley Sheahan, Nyquist, Jarnkrok and Mrazek as players who need to help the Red Wings re-establish themselves as a contender … Aubry was one of eight prospects called up as Black Aces for the Red Wings’ brief playoff appearance. Andersson, Tatar, Smith, McCollum, forward Francis Pare and defencemen Brian Lashoff and Travis Ehrhardt were the others … Jurco is two wins away from winning a second straight QMJHL championship with Saint John and a trip to Shawinigan, Que., to defend the team’s 2011 Memorial Cup win.
Following is this week’s statistical report.

great RWC as always! look forward to end of season rankings, whenever that will be =)
Thanks for the updates! It was great to hear so many prospects had great years. Lets hope they keep it up next year. I have a question about Max Nicastro (if someone is willing to answer it). Is there any new news about his arrest? Also how does this effect what the Wings do with him? Ok so thats two questions.
What are the chances of Jurco and Jarnkrok making the jump to Pro next season? They both had amazing seasons, so I was just curious. Also, will Tatar skate in Detroit for the 2012-13 NHL season, or will they trade him? Thanks!
Luk, pretty sure all those guys will be in GR next year… I think there is a chance for Tatar and Järnkrok to play some in Detroit next year, but the chance they’ll be on the roster all year is slim to none.
I can’t seem to get excited about goalie prospects, doesn’t matter how good they are to me. But I love the news on jarnkrok and jurco. Nyquist showed some nice flashes in Detroit and I’d still say Tatar is on pace with expectations considering his age. Hopefully smith and nyquist can pin down the starting jobs in Detroit next year and give the roster some young talent. I’m loving smiths mean streak.
I have to agree with Sheck. Even though they may have a great training camp and could make any other roster in the league there are just too many forwards in Detroit right now. Plus with them planning on going after a big name free agent or two would make it virtually impossible for them to make the opening day roster.
From what I’ve read, Jarnkrok still has one more year on his contract with Brynas…so I’m assuming he’ll be playing in the SEL for one more season before he comes over.
Jarnkrok translates to “Iron Hook” but given his size, it’s like calling a guy with no left arm “Lefty”. I too have read in DetNews.com that he’s not ready to come over to N.A.
ps. would be pretty cool if Mrazek turns out like the floppy Hasek. Maybe Hasek could mentor the kid?
Brett: A “floppy” Hasek? I seem to remember Hasek being quite “floppy” already. All joking aside, I’m hoping this kid turns into something, as Lundqvist was also a late rounder. Just goes to show how much of a gamble taking a goalie in a high round can be (ahem… McCollum).
Do you believe everything you read, Brett? Jarnkrok just notched 16 points in 16 games during the playoffs in Sweden’s highest professional league. As a comparison for you, when Zetterberg was playing in Sweden at 20 years old, he played 48 games and scored 10 goals and 22 assists for 32 points, and didn’t play in the playoffs. Jarnkrok had 16 goals and 23 points for 39 points in 50 games this year, plus his aforementioned playoff performance. Zetterberg came over the next year and posted 44 points in 79 games for the Wings. So he’s more than ready skill-wise. The only knock against him is that he may need to fill out a little more to handle the rigors of an 82 game season, but that’s it. He’s as ready as they get.
Duke, according to eliteprospects.com Järnkrok is signed through next year in Sweden, so you’re probably right on that, unless the two teams establish some loaning agreement. If he stays in Sweden one more year, not sure what more he can prove over there after (from what I’ve read) being #1 center and taking his team to a championship this year, but he should certainly have a strong chance to skip GR in 13/14 and go straight to Detroit. He’ll almost certainly have bilked up to 180-190 lbs. they’re looking for by then…
Truth be told, I think the Wings need the Tatars and Pulkkinens a little more at this point. They need more guys with a nose for the net. And both those guys may be ready for 13/14 too, so we’re definitely in a big transitional phase here with a lot of potential NHL talent coming up soon. Despite the disappointment of this post-season, I’m pleased they didn’t trade any of these prospects away for a rental…
I really want to see a Wings team with lines built of a playmaker, a net-front guy and a shooter/ sniper on each line… Certainly the more rounded, bigger and scrappier the better, but that compilation is proven and we’ve gotten so far from that at times now, that I feel roles have been blurred and natural talents stretched to the point of failure as a unit.
*bulked — dang iPad autocorrect!
Jurco just won the QMJHL championships! He had two goals and three assists tonight. Lets hope he can bring it when he turns pro! Congrats Jurco!
Scott…Jurco did not win the regular season scoring title in the Q, nor is he the leading scorer in the playoffs, so don’t follow your comment. But, with his size and skill can be an NHL scorer IF his work ethic improves.
yvr, I don’t see where Scott or anyone else said that… I don’t follow your comment.
Ok listen Saint John won the QMJHL championships. I didn’t say he won the scoring title. He had 29pts in the playoffs.
Any word on Tvrdon making the jump to Grand Rapids?
Scott…you said Jurco just won the QMJHL championship which implies an individual award…
Ok. I apologize in my mind it made sense apparently to everyone else it didn’t. In the future I will try and make my posts more understandable. Regardless I am still excited about this kid. I’m sure he will be fun to watch in Detroit when he gets there.
@Scott,
I’m excited for Jurco as well. To me, he possesses all the talent to be a top 6 sniper in a Bondra/Hossa mold. Watching him light up the QMJHL gets me pumped. He was also dynamite at the 2012 IIHF U20 Tourney. I just hope Wings’ brass brings him to the NHL at the right time, to save him from rotting in Grand Rapids for years on end (*cough* Tatar).
i live in gr and see the griffins a lot.tatar is ready now and has been for some time. hes fast,strong on the puck,good in the corners and all the skill youould ask for.smith also was ready all year.every game he played he was the best player on either team.best drafted defenseman since lidstrom.he will be far better then kronwall.i have read many posts about whats wrong with the wings.they are all correct.too old,slow and small.kh and babock need to give some kids a chance a little earlier.jurco,bring him up now.teamuu p. bring him over now.bring up anderson(hes not going to get any better in gr.make a few trades including ablkater(sorry for spelling)way over rated and could bring some value for a bigger stronger player.also and i know this might sound crazy. bring over hat trick dick.big,fast ,skilled and plays with an edge. i know he can be lazy.but any more the bertuzzi and franzan.sign him to a one yr one way deal .make skate his back end off.
yvr,
I think everyone assumes that he meant Jurco’s team won the championship and that he did well. He outscored Huberdeau in the playoffs after all.
I despair of ever seeing any of these guys ina wings uniform. The wings are so full of third/fourth line reclamation projects they won’t give their top 2 line prospects a chance. If they don’t let these guys play in detroit, they should trade them to get help winning cups. Instead, they trade a first round pick for a #5 defenseman.
I remember clearly the talk after the trade deadline, and the disappointment many felt that Detroit didn’t add Gaustad and others. But look at Nashville now: they gave up (i) a first round pick (ii) two second round picks (iii) two prospects, for Hal Gill, Andrei Kostitsyn and Paul Gaustad. However, they didn’t have any significant impact on Nashville’s Stanley Cup run and now all three are free agents. In fact, one could argue Kostitsyn, with Radulov, contributed to Nashville’s loss by messing up the locker room. Now the entire team is in what looks like upheaval. One must label Poile’s trades “poor management”.
I’m so glad that Tatar played so well in the second half of the season. He had a slow start of last season, but he’ll be an NHLer before too long.
Joakim, I really enjoy your posts. Thank you for pointing out to everyone what should be obvious; they couldn’t sell the future for a slightly greater chance at this year’s Cup. — BTW, are a big fan of our Joakim Andersson and/or is that your name?
howe, some big statements there… “way better than Kronwall”… ? We can hope.
I think there are multiple Scotts on this post so I will change my name to ScottD. Some times I feel kind of bad for Detroit’s prospects. People say that certain prospects would be playing in the NHL if they were on other teams. It sounds to me Tatar really needs to be given the opportunity to play. He seems to have been very patient and is trying the best he can to improve. I think its time he be rewarded for that. I know we have a lot of forwards right now and its believed Detroit will go out and spend big time on even more forwards. I don’t know if it makes sense but maybe Detroit really needs to look at Tatar, Mursak and Emmerton in training camp and preseason. If Tatar out performs the other two then maybe its time to say good bye to them.
Although I’m excited about Ouellet, Jurco, and Jarnkrok they might end up with shell shock once they turn pro. I think you still have to be patient with prospects but also you have to let them have opportunities too. Sticking them in Grand Rapids just because there isn’t room in Detroit just doesn’t seem fair to me.
I am one of those fans that will constantly state that our future looks a lot brighter than what people expect. I agree and would resonate the statement Holland made to Aubry and fellow Black Aces when he said that him and other top prospects, are expected to make them a re-contender. I believe Smith is gonna show everyone how great he is next season and i for one would be upset not to see him along with Kindl in the top 6 for defensemen. Secondly forward wise, its time to inject the youth that we have, and in all honesty, as crazy as it sounds, i would love to see Jarnkrok come over and fill in as the second line center behind Pavel/Henrik. Wishful thinking on my part. Along with Jarnkrok, i would love to see Pulkinnen suiting up for the wings next season, both have been proven scorers in their respective leagues, both already have experience of playing against older competition and more importantly, it gives Detroit skilled forwards with right handed shots. But thats just my opinion.
For those shooting Nashville down for at least trying to win a SC with their signings and trades, remember that is what Kenny Holland used to do when Wings were winning cups. Now KH stands pat and says he really likes this team. Well Kenny, you are 3 yrs late in making the Wings bigger, faster, stronger.The Wings future lies in Smith, Nyquist, Jarnkrok, Pulkkinen, Mrazek, Jurco, Ouellet, Sproul, and Tatar. A young, talented core coming up together full of pi** and vinegar, and hunger, is what gets the job done. Let’s get it done Kenny.
yvr, Kenny used to do that when there was no cap. Maybe you missed it, but there is such a thing as the Collective Bargaining Agreement now that limits each team’s spending and requires GMs to be a lot more careful with their prospects; to focus on drafting and to grow from within. Those guys you mentioned as being the future of the Wings are precisely who Holland protected by NOT making short-sighted trades at the deadline. How would you feel if two of the first four you listed were no longer in the Wings system and they still didn’t win the Cup?
– And what did you expect him to say after he realized the prices were too high to improve the team the way he knew he needed to? I doubt he was going to say, “Well, sorry guys, we’re not deep enough this year… not much I could do. Sell your tickets and save your money for next year.”
Sheckman….Last year KH had 5 mill(cap) to spend and chose not to improve the team for the playoffs….2 yrs ago he said he wanted to make changes but the cap would not allow him to do so…Kenny just says whatever is convenient to him at the time….KH needs to be highly scrutinized going forward…no more late round draft pick luck as he had with several Wings…
Hi Sheckman9, no my name’s not Joakim Andersson and I’m not a particular fan of his. I do hope that he continues to develop, though. I think he could grow into a valuable role/depth player; a strong team-first PK and face-off specialist that can provide some depth scoring and make life hard for the opposing d-corps.
Mike Babcock and Kenny Holland were quoted over in Helsinki saying that Järnkrok will stay in Sweden a year and that he needs to add 10 lbs. I think he’s in a good situation with his Swedish team, he’s centering the top line and playing with in all situations, with some of the league’s best players. I don’t think he’s quite ready to play in the NHL just yet.
I don’t like how everyone (including the Wings themselves) are banking on landing Suter and/or Parise as means of improving their team in 2013. This team is not 1 or 2 players away. Its about 2 full lines away, and a defensive pairing. Z and Pav are not goal scorers, they are playmakers that CAN score. The only real sniper they have signed next year is Franzen. Sure, Parise would be great, but that doesn’t make us bigger. Sure Suter would be great, but we are losing Stuart and possibly Lidstrom, so tell me what puts us over the top? They need to trade some of the fat on this team. Cleary has a no-trade, so he’s not moving. You can’t trade Fil when he’s just now blossoming into a productive player. Let Hudler walk, and find a way to upgrade the over abundance of non-physical 3rd and 4th liners like Emmerton, Miller, Cleary (hasn’t been healthy since 2009). If you’re going to put kids on the 3rd and 4th line that don’t hit, then at least bring up the kids that can score. Tatar barely got to see JLA, but Joakim Anderson and Chris Conner did? I don’t get it. We need young legs that can put the puck in the net and we need depth, so why aren’t we calling up those kind of players?
Jay I agree with your thoughts here. However, you can’t really through several rookies on the ice in one season. No one in the league does that and has any success. I think Parise and Suter however would be a really great start in the right direction. What are the chances of them both coming over? Probably pretty slim. We do need a lot of changes but this team won’t make changes just for the sake of making them. This team is definitely in a transition right now and are still competitive. Not very many teams can say that. We have some great prospects but they are not guarantees. I think the next couple of seasons people are just going to have to be patient. We aren’t returning to the Dead Wing Era so people don’t have to panic. My advice is to stay positive.
With my second line I meant throw not through. Its been a long day for me. SORRY!
scott, you mean throw? haha
Out of all the players out of the Q , Ouellet has to be the one that has caught my attention . Ive had the chance to see him a half a dozen times this year and he is by far the best prospect . This guy will wear a C or an A for the Red Wings in 5 years , mark it down
rob – wow! I hope you are right. BAM.
Wow! Thank you! I continually needed to write on my site something like that. Can I implement a fragment of your post to my blog?
