2015 NHL Draft Primer for the Detroit Red Wings

DETROIT, MICH -- With the 2015 NHL Draft launching Friday, June 26th at 7PM ET, It's in every Red Wings fan's best interest to know who could be available when they're on the clock with the 19th overall pick.

It's in Ken Holland's best interest to draft the best player available, as with any other GM. The debate is that Detroit needs a top defenseman, but they won't acquire an NHL-ready defenseman at 19th overall. This opens up a lot of possibilities for potential 1st round candidates.

Detroit does not have a 2nd round pick.
