The Detroit Red Wings enter this year’s NHL draft with a hefty 10 picks spread over two days, starting with the No. 4 overall pick on Tuesday night.
Realistically, if just two or three of those draftees after the first round end up contributing at the NHL level, it’ll have been a successful draft for general manager Steve Yzerman and his front office.
But what if they really hit it out of the park — or, in hockey terms, what if they really fill up the net? Yzerman went No. 4 himself back in 1983, and that worked out, uh, pretty well.
