Kris Draper speaks with the media following the final day of Detroit Red Wings development camp
Red Wings Assistant General Manager and Director of Amateur Scouting, Kris Draper, speaks with the media following the final day of Detroit Red Wings development camp.
Detroit’s lucky to have the staff they do here. Lots of noise coming from the impatient, immediate gratification seeking fans. They’re doing things the right way and id imagine we’re in for an exciting several years of growth and winning!
My alltime favourite player has gone from essential player to fantastic management leader. Such a great plan Yzerman has had staffing the Red Wings with great former players.
DRAPES! Looking good buddy. Glad to see your included in bringing the hardware back down Woodward into heart plaza I'm getting goose bumps writing this I was there TWICE . It was just …. Words can't convey , tears laughing, screaming. I was on a step ladder and Stevie brought the Connie right over to me and screamed right in my face. I'll never forget it. The parade.
Draper wtf is the plan here?!?! The way its going Larkin will be 35 by the time the kids being drafted in 22, and 23 will be up to help him.. We have waited on this Yzerplan bs it's time to start using some of these assets for players like Bo Horvat, Timo that Steve shit the bed to get but there is still time to grab Alex so get it done because 40 goal scorers don't grow on trees especially 40 goal scorers that are hometown kids.. .
For a dollar we got a redwings great, multiple Stanley Cup Champion, and great director of amateur scouting and now assistant gm! Best dollar ever spent!
I don't care what they do I trust Steve and everyone else who's helping out the team we gotta do the hard things in order to move up in our future and it's gonna hurt but it's gonna pay off in the long run
If Drapes isn't hired away by another team, he'll be the Wings next GM. Yzerman slides into a president of hockey ops role and Drapes takes his job at some point in time.

Prepping him to be the GM when Stevie decides to step down.
I love this team. Wings for life.
The culture that persists from the "good old days" by keeping so many of our legends around in the organization is something I hope continues forever.
Drapes is a gem. Long live the Grind Line.
We are so lucky to have someone like Kris Draper in our beloved organization.

The hit by Claude Lemieux was clean
Congrats Drapes on your promotion
Love Drapes, love the Wings. Love to be able to actually hear the questions being asked instead of having to decipher them when hearing the answers.
Some dumbass questions
Let’s keep Draper as long as we can until he GM’s somewhere else

Damn, Drapes looks like he could hop over the boards and still take those grind line shifts. Best dollar the Ilitch family ever spent.

I'm sure there's a bike in the sauna for all the prospects 😂😂
Love Kris Draper
Always loved Drapes. My first Red Wings hat had his number on it, so cool to see him get promoted.
