Tim Stutzle Could Be A Draft Option For The Wings
from Mark Falkner of the Detroit News,
A year after the Red Wings' general manager selected Mannheim defenseman Moritz Seider with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft, Seider's former teammate Tim Stutzle is the No. 1-ranked European player for the 2020 draft and could form a potential one-two punch from Germany, one of the emerging hockey nations in the world.
Yzerman knows all about Stutzle, a 6-foot, 190-pound winger who was named rookie of the year with 34 points in 41 games with the Mannheim Eagles in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, Germany's top-tier men's league.
A year ago while scouting Seider in Mannheim, Yzerman met Stutzle for an informal conversation about the forward's future.
