Red Wings Select Simon Edvinsson with the 6th pick in the NHL draft

Well after all the waiting, Detroit got their 2021 Entry Draft started with the team selecting defenseman Simon Edvinsson from Frolunda.

With William Eklund still on the board, I was hoping that Yzerman would take the forward, but instead he took a defenseman that could have some people looking back in a few years and thinking that this was another great defenseman that Detroit drafted.
