Detroit — When you devise a mental picture of an old-age defensemen, you have this big, bruising player who punishes fast-skating forwards with thunderous hits and thinks defense first.
And these days, the popular model is they are generally small, fast and offensive-minded.
Donovan Sebrango, one of two Red Wings’ third-round draft picks in October’s NHL Draft, is a combination of the two.
Which, in the long run, could bode very well for the Wings.
“I’m a little bit of an old-school defenseman with a little bit of the new school,” Sebrango said during a media Zoom call after the draft.
