As I made my trek down to Sunrise, Florida for the 2015 NHL Draft, I went through my long, detailed list of prospects I wanted the Red Wings to take at 19th overall. I'll admit, I was fully expecting a defenseman of some sort. While there might not have been a ton of big blueline names available at the time, I was still a bit surprised with their pick. Disclaimer - Just because I was surprised, doesn't mean I was disappointed. Let's say I was pleasantly surprised that the Red Wings decided to take Russian forward Evgeny Svechnikov in the first round.
