All tagged Red Wings Draft
If the draft were to follow the NHL Prospects’ Rankings, found on Elite Prospects, the Red Wings should continue their trend of drafting Swedish Prospects, like in 2020 when the Red Wings drafted Lucas Raymond, William Wallinder, and Theodor Neiderbach and the draft William Eklund with the number 6 pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
We discuss why Eklund is the right pick for the Detroit Red Wings. What did Eklund’s coaches have to say about him? What Eklund’s top skills? We also present William Eklund highlights from the 2020-21 season to help you make your own judgment.
Now that we know the Red Wings are going to be drafting at the 6th spot, who should they draft. One would argue that the 2021 NHL Draft does not have a clear-cut number one draft pick. That being said, we have almost no idea who is going to fall to number 6. So I took a look at the draft from different prospect ranking pools, like Dobber, Elite Prospects, and TSN to find out who would be the ‘best available’ for the Detroit Red Wings to draft at the number 6 spot.
The Red Wings are now selecting 6th in the NHL Draft, so we can finally try and piece together who the best draft pick is for that particular spot. Also, do the Wings benefit from trading back?
