Red Wings Sign Trey Augustine, Stack Goaltending

0:00On March 31st, Detroit Redwings just locked in goal-tending prospect Trey Augustine with a three-year entry-level deal that kicks off next season in, 2026-27. For now, he's heading straight to the Grand Rapids Gryffins on an amateur tryout to finish out the current 2025-26 campaign. He's joining a stacked net with Sebastian Kosa and Michael Pistava, forming a solid trio as the Gryffins gear up for the Calder Cup playoffs. With only eight regular season games left, Augustine might snag a spot in a back-to-backer too, but the focus stays on keeping the Vets sharp. Fans and scouts are buzzing about his college run at Michigan State, where he snagged a Hobie Baker nod, the Mike Richter Award nomination, Big Ten, Best Goalie Honors, and first team All-Star status. That hot streak bumped him up from seventh on Detroit's prospect list and propelled the Spartans to the NCAA tournament. Looking ahead, expect him to split starts with Postava and Grand Rapids next year,
