rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Looking at mock drafts posted yesterday, the Wings are slotted at 18th. Is this true? Does anyone know how this works? SC winner = 30th SC runner up = 29th Conference finalists = 28th & 27th then what? I'm confused. If this get answered quickly, you can close this thread right away. Thanks Edited May 31, 2013 by rick zombo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterPavel 115 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I think it is correct. It goes by regular season record until you make the conference finals if I'm not mistaken. Edited May 31, 2013 by MasterPavel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see on that list that our boy McCarron has up'd his stock in this draft. I sure hope he is available in the 2nd round to us... I know we talk about size up front and our need for scoring, but I am telling you, that Santini is very interesting. Right handed shooting defenseman, 6'2" 207lbs at 18 years old! By time he makes the Wings (if drafted) he will be every bit of 6'4" 225lbs...of course Gauthier is a big at his age too! He could be a huge forward for us in 4 yrs.

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Gauthier is exactly what we need, a big skilled forward that can get to the net and great hockey sense. He would be huge in a tougher Eastern Conference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The hockey News draft mag says he's not expected to be a point producer even though he was close to a point per game plus it says he has a tendency of disappearing come playoff time. They said he's more of a 3rd line guy. Mantha or Rychel would be my picks if they went forward Edited June 1, 2013 by RedWingCraig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt McCarron makes it to the 2nd round. He seems to have a lot of upside and at worst a big physical forward who can skate. Alraedy 6'5" 229ilbs and growing, he's gonna be a monster. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wings trade down and get him and a bonus 2nd rounder(or prospect) out of it again. http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Funitedstatesofhockey.com%2F2013%2F05%2F07%2F2013-nhl-draft-world-under-18-championship-player-reports-part-i-team-usa%2F&ei=r8qsUbaQEqrp0gG4oYHgAQ&usg=AFQjCNHcFigHzwkWNaAgeTCkupqm9A6Oqg&sig2=DEz2TWbM6ztRi7WCSEdxKw&bvm=bv.47244034,d.dmQ&cad=rja "Mike McCarron — A revelation in the tournament, McCarron should continue his rise up many draft boards. At 6-5, 225, he doesn’t have to do much to be noticeable, but it seemed he was doing something every time out. Not just a bruising forward, McCarron showed terrific skating and puck skills. He was incredibly difficult to out battle along the boards and while he didn’t throw his weight around a ton, he showed he can be physical. McCarron has elite puck skills for a player of his size and showed both a willingness to distribute and a lack of fear of his shot, which is quite good. His footwork is solid enough and improving. There’s a good chance a team is going to take the risk late in the first round just because of McCarron’s immense upside. His decision-making could improve a bit, but the physical tools are right where they need to be at this point. McCarron could turn into a heck of a pro hockey player down the line.
