You've probably heard this, but the first round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft is tonight in beautiful Sunrise, Florida. If you frequent this website, there's a good chance you have been following not only the great work Kyle has done in previewing and profiling potential draft picks, but also Michelle's tireless efforts in covering the Red Wings' current prospect pool. With those things said, your thoughts about tonight are probably something along the lines of, "We need a defenseman." While it's true that most of the higher end talents in the Detroit system are forwards, taking an offensive player tonight could actually yield a preferable result, because, to put it quite bluntly, forwards are more important than defensemen.
