NHL Draft thread, Day 2: Red Wings will be busy after grabbing Michael Rasmussen

For the Detroit Red Wings, Friday night was a little odd.

They picked ninth overall in the NHL Draft, the first time the franchise has had a top-10 selection in more than a quarter century. (Detroit grabbed Keith Primeau at No. 3 overall in 1990.)

With this year's first-round pick, the Red Wings picked center Michael Rasmussen. Now on it's on to Day 2, and Detroit is slated to be busy, with 10 scheduled picks.
