Red Wings’ Fourth-Round Pick Stays Close to Home

Detroit does not have to send the scouting department on a long-haul trek for this one, which is always a nice little bonus in draft season. The Red Wings’ fourth-round pick comes from a place close enough to keep eyes on without burning through the frequent-flyer miles. That kind of proximity can make development feel a lot more real for a front office, especially when the player is still trying to turn promise into something that sticks.
