With the 79th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, the Red Wings select right wing Lane Zsblocki out of Red Deer.
Here’s what Future Considerations says about him:
Zablocki isn’t a dynamic player but he works hard for his opportunities and has the skills to make the most of them. He is effective below the goal line, spinning off bodies to open lanes and making quick play with some recklessness, forcing his will to get to his spot on the ice. He has great compete although sometimes his aggression bills over into immaturity that leads him to take an ill-timed penalty.
