Detroit Red Wings' Steve Yzerman reveals his NHL draft strategy

The Detroit Red Wings have used the extra months to review and reassess, and general manager Steve Yzerman is confident his organization is prepared as possible for the challenge.

The Wings enter Tuesday’s virtual draft with the fourth pick and have 10 picks overall during the two-day event, a crucial number of assets for a team trying to rebuild. The Wings need impact players at every position, but the objective with the first pick Yzerman makes in his second year since taking control of the Wings is to find the player who will have the most impact down the road.
