Ed Ned and Leddy
Brokering the Bally Sports + Corncob TV Merger
It almost has to be a center. Detroit lacks elite center depth. There's only one good/great center in the whole organization.
Left side of our defense at least as bleak if not more. No promising young players on the roster. Decent prospects in Johansson/Wallinder/McIsaac, but nothing you can hang your hat on.
I think #1 or 2 LHD and #1 or 2 C are the biggest needs for the future core, as well as a goalie. I think the top end of this draft is probably a bit stronger in LHD than C, but there are good options for both positions. I do think it's pretty unlikely we'd take a pure winger though.
In my ideal world we'd add Luke Hughes this year and one of Wright/Lambert next year, but I'm not counting on anything.
