Sigh.
Here we are again.
It feels like Groundhog Day. Year after year, the Red Wings are shafted in the draft. In the last five years, the Wings have dropped more in lottery rankings than any other team. The good news is that the team didn’t drop from their projected 6th overall spot this year. The bad news, of course, is that they’re drafting 6th overall. The position isn’t the worst in the draft, but with a team like Detroit desperately requiring top talent, it leaves a lot to be desired. Having said that, Steve Yzerman used his last shot at 6th overall to draft Moritz Seider, who is currently in the process of dismantling his opponents at the IIHF Worlds.
