Detroit – The Red Wings don’t have a draft pick in Friday’s first-round of the draft in the top 10.
Or top 15.
But at pick 16 of the first round, and then again at No. 46 when Saturday’s second-round begins, they’re confident they’ll find productive players.
Tyler Wright, the Red Wings director of amateur scouting, believes this is a deep draft.
“We’re confident that at where we pick, both at 16 and 46, we’ll have our pick of two good players,” Wright said. “This draft, from picks 10 to 30, there are a lot of interchangeable players who could go anywhere within those picks.
