Of note from the Red Wings’ second day of Summer Development Camp, in Twitter form:
From DetroitRedWings.com’s Carley Johnston…
Michael Brandsegg Nygård says the past few days have been tough but exciting too! Says here at Development Camp, he’s learning the importance of sleep and food, what off-ice practice looks like. Says a lot of it is different from back home #LGRW #DRWDC

Pavel Datsyuk ran some drills for him today and he said he grew up watching a lot of his highlight videos. He called his dad and told him he was here and his dad was really excited. 😂 pic.twitter.com/oomxvITCif
Austin Baker said his family went nuts when he got drafted to Detroit. He said it took a while for it all to soak in, but the fact that he is a Red Wing is pretty surreal.

2024 7th Round Pick, Austin Baker, is from White Lake, MI. Said he was super excited, and a little surprised to hear his name called by the Red Wings – his hometown team. He watched the draft at home with family. #LGRW
