Red Wings Pick Post-Lottery

I'd be shocked to see the Wings pass on Bouchard. From the sounds of the beat writers he might be the highest player on their list that will be reasonably available.
Personally my late picks would be Noel, Bokk, and Miller but I'm not sure they'll all be available at that point. Why'd you go with Samuelsson and McBain?

Im with you, i dont think they would pass on Bouchard, and personally i hope they wouldnt. I just feel like this is probably the BEST path to go down. Even though we need defense BAD, its so hard to pass on Wahlstrom.

I went with Samuelsson because i thought he was pretty solid at U18's and he seems to be the wings type of guy. ESPECIALLY if they end up going with Hughes, they will need a big guy to compliment him, but i think they still take him if they go with Wahlstrom, if they go with Bouchard, im not sure they would also want Samuelsson. I went with McBain because through my many readings it seems Wings scouts are really high on him, he has decent upside as a center, probably would play well as a 3c/4c behind Larkin, Rasmussen, and possibly Wahlstrom if they convert him.


Honestly im hoping for some sort of Trade up with the Vegas pick, something like DeKeyser (retain some salary) + Vegas pick to Colorado (who has been looking for a bigger defenseman) to move up into the mid range, maybe take Bode Wilde or Serron Noel.
