The Detroit Red Wings’ previous four draft classes feature five players who have played a combined 185 NHL games thus far.
Several more are certain to enter the league in the next few years, but it takes time.
So it will be a while before Steve Yzerman’s first draft as Red Wings general manager can be evaluated.
“The danger is we all want our draft picks playing as soon as possible; it helps justify the picks a little bit,” Yzerman told media at the draft.
