I think it's once again a safe bet for the Wings to draft from 16-24, so let's talk about prospects that could fall into that range.
Using this ranking, for example: http://futureconsiderations.ca/fc-releases-december-ranking-for-2014-nhl-draft/
Vrana, Kempe, and Schmaltz sound nice for obvious reasons (and Karlsson because Swedish), but I was intrigued by the writeup for this guy, Dylan Larkin:
Of course, what they REALLY should do is trade up and get Dal Colle. but we all know how it works around here with Ken Holland and the "T" word.

He's a center too, or at least that's what it says. What do you guys think? Maybe too close to a Sheahan-type rather than a skill guy? It does say he shows a high level of offensive ability...Larkin has shown he can be an elite-level power forward in addition to showing a high level of offensive ability. His ability to take the puck hard to the net allows for unique scoring chances most players would not be able get because of a lack of size and strength.
