If I am any draftee not named Hughes, I pray to god DRW do not pick me. Because, if they do, I am likely to be in GR for 2 or 3 years.
**** man, if anything I'm hoping the Wings DO pick me.
1) They're actually committing to younger players now
2) It quite literally can't get much worse than this if it can at all
3) It's still an O6 franchise with ownership that actually cares about the team.
4) There is already the makings of a decently strong core of prospects, so if I think I'm an elite level guy, I know I'll have support and if I'm not, I see Larkin taking a huge leap, AA taking a huge leap, and guys like Cholo and Hronek moving the puck well on the back end.
5) We still aren't so far removed from these young guys watching the Wings with Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg etc.
Lastly on my points, Detroit is not a place where players get ripped to shreds about stupid ****. Toronto? You've got to be a special type player to be a star there. Boston? New York? If you are at all sensitive to pressure from the media, those places are pressure cookers. Detroit isn't.
And if everyone else should not want Detroit to take them for this made up reason you came up with... why would Hughes be okay with it? Isn't Kakko supposed to be on Hughes's level as a prospect? Wouldn't Dylan Cozens and Kirby Dach think they are also? Why on Earth would they get a knot in their asses about starting in the minors and not Hughes?
