Day 2 Pick Of The NHL Draft By The Detroit Red Wings

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News (Kulfan is adding to this as picks come in)...

The Red Wings went with another defenseman with their first pick Saturday.

In Round 2 of the NHL Entry Draft, the Red Wings selected Antti Tuomisto, a 6-foot-4, 194-pound defenseman.

Like Moritz Seider, Friday’s surprise first-round selection, Tuomisto is a bit of reach by some scouting services’ opinions.

Tuomisto was ranked No. 15 by NHL Central Scouting’s European skaters, and 86th overall by Eliteprospects.com.

Tuomisto is said to have a hard, accurate shot and can make a good, accurate first pass out of his zone.
