Steve Yzerman's Draft Dilemma: Choosing the Best Option for the Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has stated that the team still needs to build a core of young players to become Stanley Cup contenders. With the draft capital to deal and the cap space to add significant salary, Yzerman is looking to add a goal-scoring forward, a top-four right-shooting defenseman, and a backup goaltender. The team has five of the first 43 picks, providing more options to trade for a player or move up in the draft. Yzerman has spoken to most teams to get a feel of who might be available.
