Detroit — “With their first pick, the Red Wings select ...”
No, the Wings haven’t infiltrated the NFL, nor will they be making a selection this weekend.
But for hockey fans, especially Detroit fans knee-deep in a rebuild, it’s never too early to think about the NHL Entry Draft.
The NHL will hold the draft on July 23-24, approximately a month later than usual, because of the coronavirus pandemic and late start to the regular season. The NHL Draft lottery, it was announced earlier this week, will be held June 2.
