com/v1KDfxkRnX — Tre Kronor (@Trekronorse) April 28, 2026 Further updates have been coming forth to the various nations’ rosters, and no Red Wings players are among the additions. Germany has offered no indication that Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider will be playing in next month’s tourney in Switzerland. Likewise, forward Lucas Raymond and defenseman Simon Edvinsson of the Red Wings haven’t been added to Sweden’s lineup.
Detroit prospects who’d normally be playing – forwards Michael Brandsegg-Nygard (Norway) and Eduards Tralmaks (Latvia) – are busy with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL Calder Cup playoffs. There’s always the chance that one of the Red Wings American players will be an addition to the USA roster. At this point, USA Hockey has named seven NHLers, and none of them play for Detroit.
