Alexei Emelin, our 257th ranked defenseman, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Detroit Red Wings because they could use a player of this quality to play defenseman. The Red Wings currently have only 0 healthy defensemans, and none are rated better than Emelin.
The Red Wings currently have no defensemans under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Emelin could see a potential long term contract with the team.
