In Red Wings Land

Some of the top draft prospects did media interviews today. These three sections were of particular interest.

Rossi talked to the Red Wings three times he says. Called all the talks with Yzerman good.

Perfetti: "If I was under a head coach where I had to dump the puck in every time I go out over the red line and get on the forecheck, it would be frustrating and I wouldn't be able to express how I really am as a player." (4/?)

As Prashanth put it, good luck with Cole Perfetti in his career with another team. ;)

This was a fun tidbit. Apparently Steve Yzerman was on some of the Zoom calls while his camera was off. So he was there listening but the prospects couldn’t see him. #NHLDraft

We obtained a video of Yzerman doing this.
