DALLAS — This NHL draft figures to be especially significant for the Detroit Red Wings, who hope to use it to speed up their rebuilding efforts.
The Wings hold 11 picks in Friday and Saturday’s seven-round event at American Airlines Center, four of them within the first 36 selections. They have the sixth overall pick, a spot that gives them access to high-end defensemen and high-scoring forwards in what is considered a deep draft year.
