This past year, I felt like Edvinsson was a pick that was sort of tailor-made for the Red Wings considering his position, club and league, and attributes as a player (size, mobility, competitiveness, etc.) Because of McKenzie's lists I was a bit surprised he fell to us, but when he was on the board I had a pretty strong feeling he'd be the pick.
This coming year, I have some similar feelings about Conor Geekie. Centers with legitimate top six upside present the most glaring hole in our prospect pool. It's no secret that Draper was enamored with Kirby Dach, and I'd bet this productive 6'4 center out of the WHL is very much on our radar.
It's tough to guess where we pick before the season starts, but my money would be on that #6-10 range. Realistically, Shane Wright is long gone and, despite some potential shake ups in those top few picks, I'd bet that Lambert and Savoie are gone as well, alongside maybe a winger like Mirsosch/McGroarty and maybe a couple of the blueliners. In that scenario, I think Geekie is a name you could link with the Red Wings.
