Detroit — The Red Wings are about to embark on what could be the most unique NHL Entry Draft ever.
A draft that was originally scheduled for June 26-27 in Montreal, but given the pandemic and the league's restart this summer, will finally be held virtually Tuesday and Wednesday.
General manager Steve Yzerman and his scouting staff will have the fourth overall pick Tuesday and nine more picks Wednesday in Rounds 2-7 in what could be a major step forward in the rebuild.
“At the fourth pick we’re pretty excited regardless of how it plays out,” Yzerman said last week during his pre-draft interview with the media.
