The Detroit Red Wings selected David Pope with the 109th overall (4th round) selection in the 2013 draft. Pope who turns 24 years old this September is considered a late bloomer but his 6’3 frame to go along with being a 200 pound forward has potential to translate into an NHL regular.
The Red Wings are pretty high on prospect David Pope; they feel he will compete for a roster spot during the preseason. What has stood out to scouts is Pope’s ability to shoot the puck. Pope is the beneficiary of a snipers shot.
