Projecting where prospects go in any professional sport is always tough.
It becomes even more difficult for a team whose general manager is known to trust his gut over the consensus of scouts and draft pundits.
Steve Yzerman's calls have worked out well in recent years, including his first season in charge of the Detroit Red Wings, when he went way off the board and drafted German defenseman Moritz Seider at No. 6 overall.
Last month, Seider won the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie, after leading Detroit in ice time as well as pacing all rookie defensemen in points and assists and finishing second in goals.
