From freshly-minted pro Dylan Larkin to an AHL veteran such as Teemu Pulkkinen, the Grand Rapids Griffins have a great talent pool waiting to go to Detroit.

How many will make it? Red Wings general manager Ken Holland was asked that Thursday.

"I think we're probably hoping two, three, four can make it next year and certainly some of them - (Xavier) Ouellet, (Alexey) Marchenko - played games for us last year. But I'd say seven, eight, nine that have a chance to play for the Red Wings at some point in time.

Is it the greatest collection of prospects ever growing in Grand Rapids? Time will tell, but let's give the nod for now to the 2013 Griffins, whose Calder Cup Trophy team included the likes of playoff MVP Tomas Tatar, Gustav Nyquist, Petr Mrazek, Riley Sheahan, Tomas Jurco and undrafted Luke Glendening. All are Wings now.

The caveat Holland inserted into his reply was this: You never know how a youngster will develop. Then there's the other challenge - finding a roster place for them.

There's no question Pulkkinen is ready for the Red Wings - he has to be or the team risks losing him to waivers next year. There are defensemen in Marchenko and Ouellet and a host of young forwards in Anthony Athanasiou, Tyler Bertuzzi, Larkin and Anthony Mantha, to name a few.

So, let's predict the future. Take what's known, what you think you know and add in a heavy dose of educated guess and answer this: What current Griffins player will have the best NHL career? The list includes the most-commonly mentioned names. Others? Make a pitch in the comment section.
