One final Tweet of note from development camp

I didn’t ask Kris Draper a question when he spoke about the Red Wings’ summer development camps today, because he more or less answered them.

It’s very evident to me, after attending at least a dozen of these things, that the Red Wings believe in attempting to afford their prospects and free agent try-outs every avenue that they can access in order to become better professional athletes and better people.

Whether it’s nutrition, sleep, fitness, social media, financial planning, you name it, the Red Wings probably have some sort of presentation ready to go to help a prospect with it (regardless of whether that prospect is headed for the NHL or headed for remembering that one time they went to development camp). And the Red Wings seem to really want to draft and develop the kinds of people who are self-improvers.

So, with this, I’m leaving you for the night and going to take care of my aunt by giving her dinner (we have Culver’s tonight, my favorite), filling up her medications, changing a bandage or two if necessary, and doing the kind of stuff I did in the nine months prior to the last, wonderful, wacky and exhausting week of blogging through the draft, free agency, and development camp.

See you a little later.
