Not gonna pretend to be a prospect scout, but it’s easy to see that Yzerman is building a defensive corps filled with tall, physical, and highly mobile dudes. Cossa and Ned gives the Wings two premium shots at a franchise goalie. Then throw in the couple good forward prospects… exciting future in Detroit

6'6 goalie, big dude man!

Who is the douchebag that gave a thumbs down?? My man cut and put this video together for ppl that missed or couldn't get access to watch it and beautiful i might add!! If it's a thumbs-down for the draft class I would understand but you shouldn't give a thumbs down for this video this guy went way out of his way to make this for us faithful Detroit Redwings fans to enjoy and for u not to have to go click on 8 different videos to watch highlights of these kids so he put it all together in one

Thanks for this quick compilation, Alex. I didn't have time in my schedule to sit and watch any part of the draft. This condensed version is absolutely perfect for me. I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you do. LGRW!!!

I was a little confused with the choice of Cossa over Wallstedt at first just because of how hyped Wallstedt was, but after seeing Cossa’s stats, highlights, and post-draft interview, I really like the pick. Some of the late-round picks look promising too

Gary Bettman hates Detroit. I promise you that he was hurt by the Wings getting two top 15 picks in the draft.

Can't wait to see what Cossa can do in the big time

Stevie building that blue line nice! And getting 6’6 Cossa at 15 😍😍 LFG!!!

I don't know how people can doubt Yzerman after seeing what he did in Tampa and the legacy he left behind there. Will the Red Wings be as good as Tampa was? Probably not. But Yzerman has shown he's probably the best GM in the entire league

him and mo Seider gonna wreck some people out there get them on the ice this season not 10 yrs from now Stevie 👍

I loved Eklund and believe he'll be an incredible player in the league but the edvinsson pick was primo. He's a modern dman. Especially because of his nice reach. Poke checks are the new big hits. It is what it is.

This video is going to be a very interesting re-watch in about 5 years. Love it.

Yzerman’s aggressiveness in trades is what has been lacking in Detroit, Holland failed to adapt, he never tried to make a big move at trade deadlines, and he was pretty terrible in a lot of drafts, it’s beautiful to see Yzerman doing what is necessary to build a winning hockey team.

THE WINGS WILL BE GOOD VERY SOON

Whata excellent draft for the Wings , luv all the picks , the DEFENSE is gonna b SCARY GOOD in a few years

I know some guys wanted eklund/Wallstedt but two big puck controlling d-man is what u need. Seider and Edvinsson on two different pair is exactly what we need just look at Tampas Left side. Pens when they went b2b or Chi.

Thanks for doing this it really helps me to get a better handle on these picks!

Cheers Alex! Appreciate this was a bit hard to watch the second round all day here is New Zealand. Legend my man

Thank you so much for putting this together Alex! I missed the entire draft because of a weekend long work event, wouldn’t have been able to see this all put together without you!

Thanks Awood! Looks like Stevie Y is gana build a playoff team for us now! LETS GO RED WINGS!

It’s funny what the guys said, if the other gm was jelly of Stevie. They are right tho bc I don’t think Stevie can ever do anything wrong in Detroit, he’s so loved here that I don’t think he can ever ever be fired. The fans will burn the city down if they ever try to do something like that.

Wow that was quick. Thank you

Harold just got to announce the drafting of a hall of famer.

Well it looks like Steve is building another Stanley Cup team

Lots of rhymes and reasons Go Wings Go!

Im a fan of harold

In Stevie We Trust #LGRW

I liked the Seider pick after watching his highlights and I liked the Edvensonn pick as well after watching the highlights. I don't follow NHL prospects so I go off the highlights. It's probably why I was in the minority in liking the Seider pick when it happened.

Harold. legend.

Oh yeah Cossa someone we need

Oh yeah mazut from Jackson thanks Stevie

Build from the back end out.

6.6 at 210 Datwa needs to feed him...lol

Overall I give Detroit a B in the first round. I believe an excellent defense and goalie are more important than offense. Two things you are not winning without stellar defense and strong goaltending. It doesn't matter if your offense scores 3 goals but your defense and goalie allow 4 goals, your still losing the game. Edvinsson was a solid choice at 6th and can definitely bolster up the back end with Seider and I was hoping for Cossa at 23 because we need a strong goalie and Wallstedt was not going to be there by then. We didn't really have any promising top standing out goalie prospects. Now here is where I think Yzerman made a mistake in trading up to 15 to select Cossa, I mean yeah I understand if he chose Wallstedt and I definitely thought that was the plan at first. The goalies started slipping. I mean we're already at 15 and no goalie was selected yet. Only 8 more spots until 23 and Nashville probably wasn't gonna pick a goalie since they took Askarov last year. I feel like Cossa might have been there by then. But hey there are no guarantees. Wallstedt went at 20. Who knows? Cossa might have been gone at 22. I guess it doesn't really matter at least for now. Most rankings had them equal to each other. Ultimately I trust Yzerman. Plus isn't it weird how every year you always hear "this is the best goalie prospect ever" or this is the best goalie prospect in the last decade" then next year comes and its always the same thing. It's like hey draft that guy, he's better than that other guy....because he does the exact same thing 🤔

TRUST IN YZERMAN!

Love the first round picks but after that it's pretty meh except maybe Nilson, hope i'm wrong

Nice to know we didn’t select a criminal

Not super excited about some of the picks. I thought he did really well last year and in 2019. Not as confident this year. But only time will tell and I’ll trust yzerman until he gives me reason not to

If Holland would have taken the promotion the Wings wouldn't be in the mess they are in now. Instead, we had to sit and watch Stevie turn Tampa into a powerhouse while we worked just barely talented enough small guys into the lineup for years. Also, love how you finish with worst record and never got a top 3 pick. I will never believe that stuff ain't rigged.

Harold Washington is my lil bro

Detroit once again has an over abundance of left shooting defensemen. Still would have liked more centers in the farm system. You can't win with Larkin. Need more centers for more competition.

what a goddamn hack outfit this tv crew is . its a crime tsn with james duthie , mckenzie , dreger , lebrun , odog , ray , etc isnt doing these drafts . a huge loss for nhl fans

I hate the edvinsson pick. Why draft a low iq william wallinder 2.0 when you can take Brandt Clarke?? just because he is swedish? is it because Clarke is right handed? it doesnt matter to me, Clarke could be pp QB and Seider elite number 1 d, but instead we get edvinsson :/ is it too late to go back and change the pick...
