7. Vancouver: Quinn Hughes, D, U.S.A.
The smooth-skating defenseman led Michigan to the Frozen Four last season. He’s very agile and is most comfortable with the puck on his stick. Hughes is a little small at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, but that is completely outweighed by his smarts on the ice.
6. Detroit: Filip Zadina, RW, Czech Republic
It was a bit of a surprise Zadina was still on the board. He can score from all areas of the offensive zone, creating challenges for defenders. He scoring skill was too much for the Red Wings to pass up, even with the organizational need of a defenseman.
