Detroit Red Wings Post-Lottery Blues Means Settling For Alex Turcotte

Listen, post-draft lottery blues is a real thing; the Detroit Red Wings had a 9.5% chance at nabbing that top pick. The lottery is rigged, the Red Wings should be picking top five, all the frustration can disappear, the draft class is HEAVY on talent, and that is going to bode well for the Red Wings picking sixth. Not getting into the top 5 hurts, but there are some things to take away from this.

Looking at the positives of picking sixth, there is a lot of talent in this draft, and the Red Wings can still walk away from the first round with an absolute stud of a player not named Jack Hughes or Kaapo Kakko.
