Max Plante, the 20-year-old hockey phenom with a Hobey Baker-winning season and 52 points in 40 games, is poised to leap into pro hockey — but not before a crucial junior year with his brothers. Ranked 8 among Red Wings prospects and son of former NHLer Derek Plante, Max brings elite hockey IQ and a lethal shot, though his smaller frame raises questions about adapting to pro speed and physicality. With Victor (also drafted by Detroit) playing alongside him at Minnesota-Duluth, Max’s path to the Griffins and eventually the Red Wings roster likely begins in the AHL — maybe as early as 2027-28.
