I believe someone has to do a lottery sim so we know who picks first
The Red Wings go forward heavy and stay close to home for the most part. Perfetti, Bordeleau, Guschin, Commesso, Berard and Gaffney have all been developing in Detroit’s backyard. Savoie has been teammates with Detroit goaltending prospect Carter Gylander and Jack Finley’s father, Jeff, was a longtime scout for Detroit, starting there during Steve Yzerman’s first stint in the Red Wings’ front office. So there is familiarity on those fronts.
Most of these forwards are on the smaller side — there is not a lot of size outside of Finley — but Yzerman will value skill above all else in restocking the cupboards and there is plenty of scoring potential. Youth is the other common theme, with Finley, Berard and Miller among the youngest prospects in this draft class — all with September birthdates, thus just turning 18 last month.
Commesso could be the next Jimmy Howard as an American netminder wearing the winged wheel, while Zlodeyev plays a two-way style that might remind Yzerman of the underappreciated Igor Larionov from Detroit’s dynasty days.
Really dont like that listHockey Writers have done full 7-round, Team based Mock.
Crazy work.
