On the flip side, it’s bad news for Anthony Mantha because he’s dominating over in Slovakia at the World Championships, but can’t play next game because he’s suspended. Although, in my opinion, he definitely deserved to get a game. It was a bad hit.

Craig Button once again mocks center Dylan Cozens to the Red Wings at #6. His top five consists of Jack Hughes, Kaapo Kakko, Bowen Byram, Kirby Dach and Cole Caufield. If that’s how things play out before the Wings pick, I’d prefer they take Alex Turcotte over Cozens.
