Red Wings Assistant General Manager and Director of Amateur Scouting Kris Draper speaks with the media following the selection of Michael Brandsegg-Nygård 15th overall at the 2024 NHL Entry Draft at Sphere, Las Vegas.
All time USNDP goal scorer was there at 15, and they "play it safe". Cmon people look at the names beneath Eiserman on that list; Kaulfield, Kessel, Kane, Keller, Hughes, Matthews…and they..passed?
I've just realized that being a Wings fan my whole life, that he's my favorite. The Wings have so many hall of fame players, but Chris has continued his career with the Wings. I watched his kids talking about he might get in trouble helping their team when he was just a scout. As I looked at the injury that he had, and how he perceived through that. I am a huge fan of him. He's a class act.
After the 1st round this team drafts really mediocre. Only Carter Mazur to show for it. Dylan James fell off the map, Buchelnikov apparently is in no urgent hurry to come to the team. Eventually this will come back to haunt the team and to start the rebuild again.

The level of nuance and complexity in this conversation is truly impressive. It's like peeling back layers of an onion.🍓
The safe pick 😒
Did Steve duck the questions or is his video coming next?
Thank You Drapes for everything you've done for this organization and fan base 🙏
Will always say this " best $1 EVER spent " luv Draper 100%
Great pick at 15! This was the right choice 🎉🎉🎉
What camera you guys shoot this with? Jw
Draper is so handsome <3 😍😍😍
When’s Keegan going to play for the Wings? 😂
Draper sucks. Former players with developing CTE shouldn’t be part of a front office.

Obviously, "obviously" must be the first word to answer questions from the media if you're a hockey player/coach/exec.
