Jeremy Laura: Red Wings Day 2 draft results

I am hoping Pinelli or Salminen is there for Detroit!

Good to see Stevie is not anti-sematic.....

Shai Buium huh? Another dman. And we traded up 2 spots? Another head scratcher but trust in the process. 2022 and 2023 drafts we're looking to draft all forwards hopefully some centermen.

I posted goal clips for Shai Buium on the blog page, obviously another left side D that Yzerman was excited about, enough to trade up 2 spots

Stevie is saving his cap-space for something big! I feel 2 players from the Bolts are coming here, so they can make a FA splash.

If you’re wondering about the “link verbiage” slots on the front page, those are just place holders for the next draft picks

LA traded up for Pinelli...Damn good pick! Yet another center for LA!!!!
I would hope there are several moves for offence that is gonna happen in trades and FA, because it sure ain't happening so far!!!

Looks like Buium is a Stevie type player.

“Buium will be a very interesting name to remember at the NHL Draft. A big defender with soft hands and good mobility doesn’t come around often. He plays a strong two-way game, able to shut plays down with his stick or body, while also contributing offense and joining the rush on transitions. He is an overall good skater, especially for his size.” – Dylan Krill, FC Hockey

I posted the zoom interview for Shai Buium on the blog page

Yzerman should steal Al Murray from Tampa to run the draft for the Wings...that would free up Draper to join Holland in Edmonton

We don't just need another center, we need a top end offensive center. Those aren't easy to get in the draft and much much harder beyond the 1st round. We do have good prospects at other positions but if some of them are misses, it could create more holes to fill although wingers like goalies are often available in trades or the UFA market. Top centers and top dmen are the guys you need to draft more than likely.

Just posted Carter Mazur interview on blog page

Hey all, a quick apology. I can’t interact a lot today, just keeping busy. Please know that every time I see one of you pop in it just makes my day. Like the pick, hate the pick or don’t care, you’re all part of a dream come true with this. I’m doing the best I can to get you info on each prospect, you all deserve to have as much as I can give you (and more).

This has been a very special part of my life this year, and you’re all the reason it exists.

Detroit trades back from 102 to 114 and 155

we'll see what kind of player cossa and endvinsson turn out to be, i trust yzerman and he has shown he knows wtf he is doing.
some may not like the picks but we really wont be able to judge for another couple years.

Yeah, you need a top offensive center. I was surprised that they didn’t take Eklund. Although Yzerman may be thinking that Eklund will be a LW due to his defensive deficiencies and lack of size.

Seems to me that Clarke is going to be better than Edvinsson. I get the LD RD thing. But teams should be going with the best available in the top 10. Wallstedt has more upside than Cossa. Stevie always seems to make the right move so what do I know.
