Red Wings 2020 NHL Entry Draft

[sggatecl]

Abdelkader is bought out.


Also draft is tonight?

4. Detroit Red Wings: Lucas Raymond, LW

Team: Frolunda (Sweden)
Ranking: 5 | Nationality: SWE
Age: 18 | Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 170 | Shot: R
Stats: 33 GP, 4 G, 6 A

Scouting report: Raymond had 14 points in nine games in Sweden's under-20 league. His one-on-one skills, skating and willingness to battle for his ice are plus traits. -- Peters

Team fit: The Red Wings are in a deep rebuild, from the foundation up. Raymond can easily be a pillar in that reconstruction. An enormously talented winger who has drawn comparisons to Mitch Marner and Artemi Panarin, he is the kind of offensive player GM Steve Yzerman had in his core with the Lightning and clearly wants in his Detroit nucleus. Plus, let's face it: Yzerman and draft general Kris Draper know their way around a talented Swedish player or two. -- Wyshynski

Where Raymond is most likely to play in 2020-21: SHL

I like this pick. We need playmaker's for sure.

Gotta build a foundation. Something Holland forgot to remember to do. Like it so far.

The trade earlier the Wild gave us No. 132 pick.

Looks like Detroit traded 125th pick, 1st of round 5 to Vegas. Not sure what we got in return.

Watching a bit of Yzerman's post draft presser and he indicated he wanted to go after 2 or maybe 3 D-man this free agency. Depending on cost. He seemed to point out that he wants the young players to get more experience this season before making the move to Detroit.. Also it looks like Seider will be playing in Sweden.

Thought it looks like Zadina will be in Detroit full time.
