Are we on the clock yet? Going to be an interesting day. Can’t wait for the action to begin.
Rooting for team chaos here! LGRW!
Welcome to the Detroit Red Wings, David Reinbacher
I’m on vacation right now and my flight leaves at 8am. I have a ~2.5 hour drive to the airport and want to be there by 5-6am. Meaning I should leave around 3-4am. The draft starts at 12am local time. I’ll go to sleep at 6pm, sleep 6 hours and then watch the draft, drive to the airport (I won’t be driving thankfully) and catch my flight. I have this shit planned down to the minute. I’d rather miss opening night than draft night, it’s my favorite event of the hockey calendar.
Any chance we land Michkov? If we were able to snag him and a trade for DeBrincat tonight, I may need to consult a doctor after 4 hours.
(That McKenzie link is sending us to last year’s draft thread.)
Elliotte Friedman reporting Debrincat traded to Detroit for a 6th round pick and was immediately traded back to Ottawa for a 1st, 2nd, and Brady Tkachuk. It’s Hot Steve Summer yall!
I predict we are going to have a lot more offensive talent by the end of the night
Honestly I just want the draft to happen so I can stop seeing mock drafts everywhere. So many mock drafts!
want to feel old? most of the kids drafted tonight were born in 2004 or 2005. some of these kids parents weren’t even married during 9/11 let alone having kids.
Have a good day everyone
With the 9th pick in the draft, the Detroit Red Wings are proud to select Swedeman Europeansson out of the European League from Europe.
I thought this would be during the day and I’d have something exciting to listen to at work. I’ll probably be getting a haircut as the Wings go onto the stage…
Hey all happy draft day. I haven’t recovered from the bedard situation so I haven’t researched the draft at all this year. First time since 2017. Someone please tell me who we want!!

Here are my draft predictions for the first round today.
Twitter is obviously full of idiots and horrible takes, but if you don’t take it seriously and read it, it has some of the funniest stuff on earth. Just comedy gold. A casual morning scroll and I read someone detailing why Pierre Dorion is a “fart knocker”. Won’t be able to find that type of analysis on TSN/NHL Network/wherever else
I want Oliver Moore… so he’s definitely not going to the Wings lmao.
The rights to Adam erne and Minnesotas 4th round pick to Chicago for #1 overall sounds fair to me idk
We need a Red Wings version of [this.](https://external-preview.redd.it/Yw2KeBPcC_EsX2NDaD8fquAyONGKL_NPORicwkVhHt8.png?auto=webp&v=enabled&s=a49df2df3392cafc1d1e3910e551a8950d3cdd00)
