Much of the legwork for the Detroit Red Wings' most important draft in decades has been done.
The front office and scouting staff is continuing its due diligence this week at the NHL Scouting Combine, trying to glean any bit of information that will be beneficial during the draft June 22-23 at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The Red Wings are scheduled to meet individually with about 70 players in 25-minute sessions that began Monday and run through Friday at KeyBank Center in Buffalo. The event concludes on the weekend with strength and fitness testing.
General manager Ken Holland, assistant GM Ryan Martin, assistant Kris Draper, director of amateur scouting Tyler Wright, chief amateur scout Jeff Finley and area scouts are meeting with prospects.
