Larry Keenan, the 117th overall pick in 2023, is quietly dominating college hockey at UMass-Amherst and climbing the Red Wings’ prospect rankings—now 17th. With NHL bloodlines and a coach calling him “unbelievable,” Keenan’s breakout sophomore season earned him All-Hockey East Second-Team honors, doubled his goals, and showcased elite offensive awareness. His booming slapshot, heavy wrist shot, and ability to control play along the boards make him a three-zone defenseman with NHL-caliber skating. While competition is fierce from prospects like Sandin-Pellikka and Johansson, Keenan’s path is clear: sign with Detroit after his junior year, finish with Grand Rapids, and aim for an NHL roster spot by 2027–28.
