The Detroit Red Wings in the midst of a rebuild are searching for future pieces who can find the back of the net a lot more often than the team has seen in recent years.
The addition of Thomas Vanek has left some fans scratching their heads and questioning Ken Holland once again. Vanek didn’t fetch Vancouver much in return from Columbus last season, but Detroit won’t be interested so much in a player as the return, the target will be a mid-round draft pick.
Detroit had a cabinet full of draft choices this past summer, and did what looks like a great job drafting future talent.
