Any Detroit Red Wings fan who watched the post-lottery press conference saw a very straightforward Steve Yzerman give some pretty clear answers. In short:
- Anyone looking for a timeline on the Yzerplan can keep guessing
- Any rankings of prospects are subjective
- The Yzerman dry wit is alive and well
While Detroit will be picking sixth in the draft, Yzerman doesn’t seem too concerned about not winning the draft or being in the line where the draft could be unpredictable.
