As Red Wings fans are surely aware, the team hasn't done itself any favors in the draft lottery of late.
By winning eight of their past nine games, the Red Wings have fallen from second on the lottery board to fifth. This is magnified by the fact that the team with the first overall pick will have the chance to draft a possible superstar in center Jack Hughes. Winger Kaapo Kakko lingers just below him.
General manager Ken Holland said on Tuesday he values the continued growth of Detroit's young players over the team's odds in the lottery.
