And we in the Motor City weren’t the only ones to notice.

Several analysts gave the Red Wings high marks for their 12 selections, which were tied with the Toronto Maple Leafs for highest number of picks. Kicking things off was the selection of Swedish forward Lucas Raymond with the 4th overall pick.

Chris Peters of ESPN: B
“In total, the Red Wings drafted seven players off my top 100 and got one of my intriguing late-rounders to watch in Alex Cotton, an all-offense defenseman who had 20 goals in the WHL last season,” Peters writes. “Detroit has a lot more work to do, but this was a pretty good haul for the Red Wings.”
