Red Wings to quiz NHL prospects in Buffalo

– The next step in determining who the Red Wings draft next month is underway.

The Red Wings and the other 30 organizations are in Buffalo for this week’s NHL Scouting Combine.

Over 100 of the top prospects in this year’s Entry Draft are in Buffalo, being tested mentally and physically, as teams prepare for the June 23-24 Entry Draft.

After missing the playoffs this season, the Red Wings will pick No. 9 overall – the highest they’ve picked since 1990. They have 11 picks overall, including four in the third round.

The Red Wings are interviewing, questioning, testing and quizzing players just like anyone else.
