With the 9th overall pick in the 2017 SB Nation NHL Mock Draft... The Detroit Red Wings are proud to select centerman Cody Glass of the Portland Winterhawks.
You may recall that I made this exact same pick in my personal mock draft earlier in the spring. I went into the mock draft prepared to take a centerman if one of Miro Heiskanen, Timothy Liljegren or Cale Makar were not available. The Coyotes and the Sabres took them both with the two picks before us, so that’s how it played out.
The pick came down to four: Eli Tolvanen, Cody Glass, Elias Pettersson, and Martin Necas — so the decision did not come very easily.
