EDGE Analysis

Buium had seven goals and 36 points in 43 NCAA games with the University of Denver this season. Detroit selected him with the No. 36 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. He'll join AHL Grand Rapids for what's left of the 2023-24 campaign on an amateur tryout agreement. It wouldn't be surprising if he also starts 2024-25 in the minors, though he should at least get a long look with the big club during Detroit's training camp.

Buium was drafted 36th overall by the Red Wings at the 2021 NHL Draft on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

A massive 6-foot-3, 215-pound physical specimen, Buium saw his draft stock rise throughout the course of the season. He displayed an excellent offensive skill set in addition to solid positioning in his own zone. The concern regarding Buium is a heavy skating stride. Opposing forwards can beat him to the outside and he doesn't move well enough to recover if he finds himself out of position. The good news is that Buium has a solid understanding of the game and there's reason to believe his smarts can help compensate for whatever mobility issues may arise. Buium, a native of San Diego, is committed to the University of Denver.
