Reaction from Wings writers



What do you thinK? Raymond is the pick

Steve Yzerman is in quarantine after having been exposed to COVID. He’s tested negative (twice) but is being cautious. Will be at the draft table via teleconference. Draper is the big dog! Yzerman is virtual at a virtual draft, virtually.

we’ve talked aboutEuropean scouting, take a quick look back at the last blog. Today, I’m excited to announce, something is happening! A lot of things actually. This blog will update throughout the day, up to and including Detroit’s draft pick!!!! Here’s what’s happened so far.

Joe Veleno is playing in Sweden. it took a while for this assignment, I have no clue why. What I can tell you is that it’s for the entire season. For whatever reason, JV won’t be given a shot to crack the lineup. May be to do with players coming in?

Abdelkader bought out!I never thought it would happen. Here’s the breakdown.

2020-21: $1,805,556
2021-22: $2,305,556
2022-23: $2,305,556
2023-24: $1,055,556
2024-25: $1,055,556
2025-26: $1,055,556

We keep hearing 4 names “tied” to the wings for their pick. Perfetti, Rossi, Drysdale and Askarov. We’ll finally find out where the GM is heading tonight!
