Prospect Talk: Detroit Red Wings Ryan Sproul

ITO's Brandon Sudeyko talked to defenceman Ryan Sproul after his OHL game with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Sunday. After heavily impressing scouts during his rookie season, which lead to being drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Ryan's greatest asset is his skating ability. Hands down his skating ability is already at the NHL level and when you couple that with his hockey intelligence, passing ability, positional play and his offensive ability, Ryan is almost NHL ready. Sproul wears number 5 for the Red and White Greyhounds and I can see similarities in him to the Captain of the Red Wings who wears number 5. Coincidence? maybe, but Ryan will be a future star for Detroit in a few short years. Click the link to listen to the interview.
