With the National Hockey League Draft a day away and the Expansion Draft now behind us, it’s time to focus on what the Detroit Red Wings should do with their ninth overall pick on Friday. This will be the first time since 1990 that the Wings have drafted inside the top 10, an astounding tidbit relative to their success in the 27 years since then.
It’s pretty clear this organization needs some serious help in their prospect pool. It doesn’t seem at the moment there’s really much help coming anytime soon either. That’s certainly not a good sign when you’re a bottom dwelling team and look to be set on staying that way for the foreseeable future.
