General manager Steve Yzerman is looking at the team approach, considering potential moves that could help the Red Wings be a more competitive team. With the 15th overall pick in the draft, here are the players the Red Wings should target at the NHL draft this summer.
Konsta Helenius, a skilled, playmaking two-way center who was projected as a top-10 pick but has slipped down the ranking recently. Despite the depth at the center position for the Red Wings, Helenius' talents are undeniable and the Red Wings should really look into him.
Liam Greentree, a dynamic right winger from the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL, has impressive offensive abilities and a good size at 6 foot 3. While his skating is not as good as the other top pick, his potential to contribute to the team scoring sheet and the power play could make him a tempting choice for the Red Wings.
Another prospect on the Red Wings' radar is Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, considered as the best Norwegian prospect in the draft. He is known for his competitive nature and his scoring abilities. Brandsegg-Nygard could bring a valuable polyvalent presence to the team since he is a good 200-feet player, addressing the need for a well-rounded player to complement the actual lineup.
As the 2024 NHL Draft approaches, the Red Wings are looking at all their options, weighing the potential impact of each prospect on the team roster.
