Red Wings Assistant General Manager and Director of Amateur Scouting Kris Draper speaks with the media following the 2024 NHL Entry Draft at Sphere, Las Vegas.
Did you also notice they drafted Axel Sandin-Pellikka last year who's probably going to be better than Hronek and will come in on a cheap ELC contract in two years?
No. Every year you lose a 3 years(i believe) previous draft class if you haven't signed them. So 21 draft. you simply restock the rights to sign contracts with kids. You like em you sign em or they go back into draft or other teams sign em.
Kris "you know" Draper
I know
Wow, Alot of bots and AI on this comment thread
I absolutely love how the team I have rooted for since I was a kid is now ran by all the guys I grew up watching play for the team.
Charlie Forslund could be a steal???
Sounds like the Pavel Datszuk story all over again
Under the radar guy, randomly scouted
He's an exciting late rounder like Really

But yeah Holl, Copp, Petry, Chariot, and Compher are overpaid. I don't mind Chariot and Compher that much, but those other guys need to go.
This is all judgment picks look at Brian Rafalski nobody pick him up and look what a smart player
Really needed to concentrate on all forward drafts for about 3 years in a row.
Another goalie?
Two more Dmen?

Having goalie's choice is never a luxury it's not concerning at all out of 8 draft choices
Good D men get traded for outstanding forwards
Defense is the most valuable position for playoff aspirations.
Why does Draper never clear his fucking throat
Resign
No wonder if the Detroit Red Wings still suck they have this Jack wagon as a part of their front office
