Analysis

After being passed over in his first year of draft eligibility, Steve Yzerman drafted Detroit native Carter Mazur in the third round.  NHL Central Scouting had Mazur ranked #67 for all North American skaters.  Mazur was the captain of Tri-City (USHL) last year.  The rugged forward can play either wing and will graduate to play at the University of Denver (NCAA) next year.

Unsigned, ETA 2025
