Of course, Detroit Red Wings fans wished they had won the draft lottery or moved up from fourth to second, but that wasn’t the case. The team actually slipped down to sixth. It will be the second straight year the team will pick in the six spot.
Last year forward Filip Zadina who was projected to be chosen third overall slipped to the Detroit Red Wings at six. The scoring forward, unfortunately, was unable to make an immediate impact with the team. He’s shown a lot of potential after a terribly slow start with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL.
