De-Ken Down This Roster

Detroit picked and, subsequently, mismanaged Evegeny Svechnikov at 19. JEE went one pick later at 20th. Brock Boeser and Travis Konecny were drafted shortly after but Detroit's North American drafting has been largely trash so I figure Hakkan Andersson would have rolled the Eriksson Ek crumb in front of Ken only to have it rejected because "Multiple last names is for the Spains."

February 21st is day riddled in tribulation for mankind.

-1848 Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels publish the Communist Manifesto
-1916 The Battle of Verdun begins. The result will be over 300,000 dead and another 400,000 wounded.
-1973 Israeli Fighter Jets shoot down Lybian Arab Airline Flight 114, killing 108 people
-2012 In a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning, Kyle Quincey is acquired by the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for the 19th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Quincey, considered a depth defenseman, would put up an impressive 3 points in the remaining 18 games of the 2011-2012 season. The memory of this kind of production proves as a great source of comfort for Wings fans when they're forced to watch the little-known player Tampa Bay chose with that 1st round pick...Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Holland let Jarn overcook in the minors until he soured on the organization and then traded him away as part of a package for David Legwands knees.

In part of a trade to acquire the individual pieces of Eric Cole's spine, the Red Wings traded away the 49th pick in the 2015 draft. Dallas turned that pick into Roope Hintz and Detroit got 11 games out of Cole before he hung em up for good after a(nother) neck injury.
