Bottom Line: Better late than never

Heading into the draft, there was speculation that the Red Wings would pair one of their second-round picks along with the No. 17 overall pick to acquire Alex DeBrincat from the Ottawa Senators. That trade obviously did not happen, and instead, Steve Yzerman traded the No. 43 pick to the Predators in exchange for No. 47 and No. 147.
