from Adam Gretz of the Sporting News,
The Red Wings had 11 draft picks in 2017, including six in the first three rounds.
They made 10 selection in 2018, including seven in the first three rounds (with four of the first 36 picks in the draft).
They already have stockpiled 11 more for 2019, including three in the first two rounds.
Detroit accumulated those picks by trading the likes of Brendan Smith, Tomas Junco, Vanek, Steve Ott, Jakub Kindl, Scott Wilson, Petr Mrazek and Tomas Tatar, not to mention picking up an extra second-round pick from the Coyotes in exchange for moving back four spots and sending Pavel Datsyuk’s contract the other way.
