2019 Draft Profile: Alex Turcotte

Well, that sucked. Not only did the Wings fall two spots in the draft, their most hated rivals ended up getting the 3rd overall pick. While a lot of people may be doom and gloom about that, there are a lot of very good prospects that will be available at 6th overall, and the dropoff in talent from 3rd-6th is nowhere near as sharp as it is from 2nd to 3rd. There's a good case to be made for at least 3 different players to be selected at 3rd overall, and it's not uncommon to hear other names thrown around in the top 3 like Cozens, or Dach.
