The Mock Draft Picks Keep On Coming

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

4.Detroit: Jamie Drysdale, defenseman, Erie (OHL)

This is where the separation in the draft starts as well as the unpredictability. The Red Wings need help in all areas, so they could pick any number of players. Drysdale isn’t big (5-11, 175) but he is a good skater who can push the pace and he uses his stick effectively to defend. He is the top-rated defenseman in the draft and the Red Wings need more D-men with top-pair potential. Perhaps the only drawback is he would make them heavy on the right side in their system (Seider, Filip Hronek, Gustav Lindstrom, Antti Tuomisto, Seth Barton).
