Detroit — They’re going to attempt to be active and aggressive and acquire as many draft picks as possible.
But whether the Red Wings are able to do that is another question.
General manager Steve Yzerman said last month “our goal is to acquire more draft choices” before the Feb. 24 NHL trade deadline, during an interview on Wings’ website with radio broadcaster Ken Kal.
The Wings have eight picks thus far in June’s entry draft — one in the first, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, and two each in the second and third rounds.
