Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis issued draft grades to each and every one of the NHL’s 32 teams, and the Red Wings got a “B+”:
14. Detroit Red Wings: B+
Notable Picks: Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Max Plante, Ondrej Becher
The Red Wings took some serious value today, which is always fun. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard isn’t the high-end goal-scorer they need in the system but he plays with power and does have a wicked shot. Plante is one of the best playmakers out of this draft, while Becher was one of the best overage players. I also think Landon Miller established himself as one of the more interesting goalie prospects and John Whipple has decent third-pairing potential. In all, I like it.
