NHL Draft 2014: Red Wings have 7 Picks starting with 15th Overall on Friday June 27th (7 pm on NBCSN)

Good morning!

Everybody ready for the fun tonight?

We’re still in the free agent “wining and dining” period for NHL teams where they can give their pitches to the guys they can sign starting on July 1st at noon, but for today, it’ll be more about all the league’s GMs being in the same building and seeing what they can make happen with their players and picks.

We’ll have a live thread going up at 5, but draft coverage itself will start at 7:00 pm tonight with first round coverage on NBCSN.

Provided nothing else changes, the Wings will have seven total picks spread throughout the seven rounds. Unfortunately, they’re not all evenly spread. Detroit’s 2nd round pick (#46 overall) will belong to Nashville as part of the trade that brought David Legwand to the Wings at the trade deadline. Originally a 3rd-round pick, the selection jumped up to a 2nd rounder when the Wings qualified for the playoffs. Fortunately, Detroit was able to at least pick up one other pick, which turns out to be #201 overall. San Jose originally owned this seventh-round pick, but this one moved over to Detroit when Brad Stuart signed with the Sharks in 2012.

Stuart had been all set to become an unrestricted free agent that summer and everybody knew he wanted to be in California with his family. Holland was able to get the Sharks to give up that pick to make sure they got him.

Also, in case you’re curious why Detroit gets #15 in the first round and essentially what is #16 in each subsequent round, remember that New Jersey’s punishment for the Ilya Kovalchuk debacle was to have their first round selection this season pushed to #30 overall. However, subsequent rounds have the Devils in their #11 spot.
