The “Yzerplan” – the name fans have given the team's rebuild under general manager Steve Yzerman – has always been about drafting and developing, and any team that has recently been through a rebuild will tell you that development is the most important part of that plan. To this point in their rebuild, the Red Wings have generally been lucky as most of their young players and prospects have progressed over the years, though some have grown more than others. This season, the Red Wings enjoyed growth and improvement from several of their prospects. From a player that put his name on the map to one that reestablished himself, these are the Red Wings' most improved prospects of the 2023-24 season.
