DETROIT — The Red Wings were already sold on Nate Danielson, their first-round pick (ninth overall) in last month's NHL entry draft, but the one extra piece of information was nice to hear.
Kris Draper, the Wings' assistant general manager/director of amateur scouting, heard an interview with top overall draft pick Connor Bedard. The subject was players who did a good job defending Bedard, the scoring phenom who was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks.
The answer cemented everything Draper felt about Danielson.
