"Finnie is a great story in the fact that he was not drafted until the seventh round in 2023. In a little over two years, he is the talk of Red Wings training camp and has even been putting some time in on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.The 6-foot and 170-pound center from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada has been impressive because of his speed, puck pursuit, his play with and without the puck, and his creativity in the offensive zone."
"Last season he began the season with the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL) before a late season call-up to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL). With both teams combines, he played in 65 games, scoring 38 goals and 51 assists for 89 points and 26 penalty minutes. In three preseason games with Detroit, he has one goal and one assist for two points and is a +2 in 15 minutes of ice time."
