Chicago — The Red Wings got bigger this Entry Draft.
They're bigger overall, with 11 more bodies drafted into the organization.
But they also got bigger physically, with 10 of the 11 players drafted over 6-foot tall (ninth-round pick Brady Gilmour is listed as 5-foot-10).
“We wanted to get bigger,” said Tyler Wright, the Red Wings' director of amateur scouting. “We wanted to get bigger but also keep the identity for what we’re known for, and that’s skill and hockey sense.”
The Red Wings selected several bigger defensemen, who, if they pan out, will greatly add to the physical nature of this team.
