Early draft thread (July 23, 24)

[Mitchrapp]

6th pick. Probably offense unless somehow Owen falls or maybe Luke Hughes.

 

[Mitchrapp]

On the clock..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Sweden: Simon Edvinsson D. I thought we'd go offense but can't complain.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Detroit traded 23, 48 and 138 for the 15th pick with Stars..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Cossa - Goalie. Bug man 6'6" with mobility.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Very good 1st round for the Winged Wheel.

Will we see these kids before 2026 ? It feels wings take forever tp groom players for the NHL ?

Goalies take awhile but you need them. Wings have no one in their pipeline. The Swede D another awesome player. He'll be up in 2 years.

 

[Mitchrapp]

With the way the first round is finishing I suspect Cossa & Wallstedt would have both been gone before our original 23rd pick. Good trade up to get Cossa at 15.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Day 2 about to start Detroit still has 6 picks today as it it stands right now.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Shai Buium D -- another big left shot defenseman. Went from 38 to 36. Gave Vegas the 128.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Bob's probably having a stroke because we didn't go offense.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Carter Mazur LW

 

[Mitchrapp]

Traded 102 to Vegas to 114 and 155.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Red Savage, C.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Liam Dower Nilsson, C.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oscar Plandowski, D.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Pasquale Zito, LW.

Last pick unless we trade more.

 

[Mitchrapp]

We certainly got the best names. But honestly I love this draft.

Hope it works out. Would love to see playoff hockey in Detroit again.
