The Detroit Red Wings drafted 10 players during the second day of the 2019 Draft, and as the draft concluded, Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman, director of amateur scouting Tyler Wright and director of European scouting Hakan Andersson discussed the team’s 11 total player selections with the media.
The Red Wings’ website posted videos of the executives’ comments:
Of Twitter-based Red Wings-related note this evening:
Steve Yzerman said he’ll be making calls tomorrow when UFA interview window opens.— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) June 22, 2019
Steve Yzerman said he would make phone calls beginning tomorrow in UFA window period, but interest has to be mutual on July 1 #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) June 22, 2019
Yzerman mentioned Niklas Kronwall will take the summer to make a decision regarding his return next season or retiring #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) June 22, 2019
2. Second, regarding the draft as Yzerman’s Red Wings scouting staff worked it, per the Detroit News’s Bob Wojnowski:
Well, we can see Yzerman is going to do it his way, at his pace. Starting with No. 6 overall pick Moritz Seider, and into the second round, Yzerman making unorthodox, somewhat-off-the-radar choices for Wings. Interesting, to say the least.— Bob Wojnowski (@bobwojnowski) June 22, 2019
Yzerman knows what all Wings fans know — they desperately need defensemen. First two picks are big, puck-moving defensemen. There is a plan, obviously, unaffected by rankings and mock drafts.— Bob Wojnowski (@bobwojnowski) June 22, 2019
3. Make it three things, per DetroitRedWings.com’s Dana Wakiji:

The Red Wings wrapped up the 2019 Draft by picking Russian forward Kirill Tyutayev and goaltender Carter Gylander, 190th and 191st overall:
With pick No. 190 #RedWings take Russian forward Kirill Tyutayev— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) June 22, 2019
With the 190th pick in the 2019 #NHLDraft, the #RedWings select F Kirill Tyutyayev.#DRWDraft | #LGRW— Detroit Red Wings (@DetroitRedWings) June 22, 2019
Kirill Tyutyayev to Detroit. He looks so small – he’s 5-foot-9 and 146 pounds – but he absolutely flies around the ice. A diamond in the rough, per se. Skilled playmaker and a good choice in the seventh round. #NHLDraft— Steven Ellis (@StevenEllisTHN) June 22, 2019
