Nate Danielson, the Detroit Red Wings' ninth overall pick in 2023, is receiving high praise from NHL stars, including Patrick Kane, who compared him to Connor Bedard. While flattered, Danielson prefers to model his game after Dylan Larkin, emphasizing his two-way play and competitive spirit.

Danielson has impressed during preseason practices, showcasing his hockey sense and work ethic. With the Red Wings' roster filled, his path to the NHL may require time in the AHL, but his potential as a second-line center is generating excitement for the future.
