Joe Veleno
Joe Veleno needs to have a terrific training camp in order to start the season in Detroit. At the end of last season, Veleno played five games and showed that he is ready for full-time employment in the NHL. The only thing holding Veleno back is the lack of roster spots available. Veleno needs to play in the middle six or he will begin the season in the AHL with Grand Rapids. Playing in Grand Rapids for a part of one more season will allow Veleno to play in all situations. By next year, Veleno should be the #2 center in the Detroit organization.
