Live: Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper speak with the media post-draft
Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman and director of amateur scouting Kris Draper are speaking with the media:
Steve Yzerman said right shot forwards are a concern for the @DetroitRedWings during free agency. Their own free agents will be considered. #LGRW— Daniella Bruce (@daniellabruce_) July 24, 2021

“i do like these big d-men. but, they have to skate and they have to have skill.”

Steve Yzerman expects both Lucas Raymond & Jonathan Berggren to be at Red Wings training camp. Adds that the plan is to keep Berggren in North America next season. #LGRW @DetroitRedWings— Daniella Bruce (@daniellabruce_) July 24, 2021
Yzerman confirms no dev camp for the Red Wings, but TC Prospect tournament is in the plans— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 24, 2021
Yzerman notes that he hates giving up picks, loves accumulating. Any one of them could turn into a Lidstrom, Fedorov, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, etc.
Still felt that they had options this year to help their young players (Leddy) and trade up to get players they like (Cossa). #LGRW— Ryan Hana (@RyanHanaWWP) July 24, 2021

A third Windsor #Spitfires player taken… F Pasquale Zito to the Detroit Red Wings at 166. 6′ 175. Passionate two-way winger who can score and use the body. Spitfires’ 2nd rd in 2019; 13pts in 46 rookie games. Huge potential. Was hoping the Leafs would get him. #NHLDraft— Dave Jewell (@DaveJewellOHL) July 24, 2021
166. Red Wings take power winger Pasquale Zito from the Spitfires. Can create his own shot and strong in puck protection. Skating not an issue at all and he foot work along the boards and in the corners is pretty quick.— Steve Kournianos (@TheDraftAnalyst) July 24, 2021

Oscar Plandowski goes to #lgrw at pick 155. The right shot Plandowski has some offensive potential after transitioning to D after being a forward in his youth. Skating is his strength and he has been able to leverage that skill to find success in the #QMJHL. @FCHockey
