in case you missed it, Yzerman’s post draft presser. He actually stated (essentially) that the reason for the Abdelkader buyout is that they could replace that player at a lower cost and free up some cap room. Very candid and surprising.
Day one of the draft was a lot of fun! Lucas Raymond was a surprise, and was outside of the 4 names the press/sm continued to circle. Yzerman has his own mind on things, and continues to prove it. Thanks to everyone who dropped in on the comments section. Today is going to be a bit more fast and furious. I will add draft picks to the front page as they come in, and let the comments keep rolling.
George Malik Did a great job laying out Detroit’s picks today. Take a look for a refresher. Thanks George!
