mackel 679 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 Does anyone know if the Wings org. has applied to host the all-star game of draft? I find it strange Detroit hasn't hosted these events more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit seems to be constantly passed over. An original 6 team, new building, could use an even for fan engagement, etc, etc. Yet still no talk of hosting the draft or ASG.

You do realize that there’s still a team in the desert that hasn’t been profitable since it’s relocating back in the mid 90s? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s the old boys club - aka the Board of Governors...There’s no rhyme, or reason to what they want...So if they choose to have the draft, or all star game in a non-traditional market - then so be it. That said - I agree that 1, of the 2 should be held in Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They briefly turned the power back on in a lot of vacant buildings and spruced up their exteriors to make it look like Detroit was doing business and wasn't a dilapidated crap hole. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
