Why Detroit Red Wings earned 'A' in NHL draft; Zadina on team in fall?

They selected elite forwards, defensemen to complement the top prospects in the organization, and a couple big goalies, adding speed and skill and size. For that, they get an "A."

All 10 players are expected to be part of the coming week’s development camp. After Friday’s first round in Dallas, where the Wings have the good fortune to be able to draft winger Filip Zadina at sixth overall, I said to the team’s director of amateur scouting, Tyler Wright: put Zadina on a line with 2017 first-rounder Michael Rasmussen at development camp.

“Put Givani Smith on the other wing and watch them go,” he replied.
