Questions Before The Draft

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

Here are some lingering questions about what the Red Wings might do with their highest pick since 1990:

Q. What are the chances that Byfield or Stuetzle is available at No. 4?

A. It would be a major surprise, much more so than in 2018 when Filip Zadina unexpectedly dropped to No. 6 for Detroit.

The Los Angeles Kings, selecting second, could have Byfield, who has been likened to Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. Byfield (6-4, 215) is a two-way center with soft hands and good vision, able to play with power or finesse.
