| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: Fall 2026 Skoog serves as excellent, high-floor insurance for Detroit. He is projected to start the year as a top-six offensive driver and power-play weapon for the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). However, because he has already demonstrated he can step directly into an NHL lineup and generate points, he will battle throughout Red Wings training camp to be one of the very first call-up options whenever Detroit needs size or secondary scoring in their bottom-six
