•2nd round pick: 48 overall

And…

DET moves into the 15 slot due to a deal with DAL. Lots of pre-draft chatter about DET taking a goalie and lots of that talks was Jesper Wallstedt. Don’t be surprised, though, if it’s Sebastian Cossa.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) July 24, 2021

DET pick is Sebastian Cossa— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) July 24, 2021

Red Wings pick G Sebastian Cossa from Edmonton (WHL) — had monster numbers in the WHL the last two years, including .941 save percentage this season with Edmonton Oil Kings. 6-foot-6 goaltender. @coreypronman had him as the top goalie in this draft class, No. 10 player overall.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 24, 2021

At No. 6 in #NHLdraft, Red Wings select Simon Edvinsson, big strong Swedish defenseman.

Pick was teed up by 10-year-old Harold Washington, Jr. of Detroit, who won the draw to assist Steve Yzerman.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) July 24, 2021

The Red Wings just got the defenseman with arguably the highest upside in this whole draft. That is TOUGH with Eklund just sitting there but I get it #LGRW— nolan bianchi (@nolanbianchi) July 24, 2021

The gallbladder is out. My expert surgeon removed it last Wednesday at Ascension Providence in Novi, and it came out full of stones, but tested cancer-free, so that’s good. There were no surgical complications, I am being careful in terms of my diet, weight-bearing, etc. to recover as smoothly as possible, and my pain management was not too difficult.

I spent the first post-surgical week sleeping in our living room recliner to attempt to keep pressure off my laparoscopically-invaded belly, and that went all right, but I’ve returned to Moon Base Alpha (a.k.a. the basement) to sleep on my side, as I prefer, and it hurt too much to tolerate.

Long story short, I am still recovering from major surgery (as my surgeon told me, “There is no such thing as ‘routine surgery'”), and my long-haul COVID is still impacting my energy, but I already feel better in terms of my digestive system, and…

We’re gonna try to blog the draft here. I don’t know how reliable I’ll be for the first couple of weeks, but my goal is to attend the Red Wings’ prospect tournament and main training camp this fall as your representative, and to go from there.
