Holland sees draft as netting long-term yield for Wings

Detroit — The Red Wings can’t catch a break.

They finally have a top-10 pick in the NHL draft — and this year’s talent pool isn’t really considered a gold mine.

Yes, pretty much the luck the Red Wings organization has had lately.

The NHL draft, which takes place June 23-24 in Chicago, doesn’t appear to have the generational talents or future stars who can quickly change the immediate future of a team — think, Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby.

But, there is depth and some fine players who’ll strengthen a roster.

It might just take them some time to develop before making it to the NHL.
