2020 NHL Draft: Detroit takes Lucas Raymond

2020 NHL Draft Recap: Red Wings Make a Splash with Lucas Raymond

October 14, 2020

When the National Hockey League conducted its annual draft lottery, the Detroit Red Wings were awarded the fourth overall selection at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 2019/20 campaign resulted in the Wings posting a league-worst 17-49-5 record through 71 games. Fans in the Motor City were anything but pleased after their worst season in almost 25 years. Last Tuesday, Kris Draper announced the selection of Lucas Raymond with the pick. Who is Raymond, what can Detroit expect from him, and why were they so keen on selecting him?

2019/20 Team Outlook: New Jersey Devils

August 14, 2019

It’s Devilish-ly good! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to sunny Newark, New Jersey. Home of famous television series, “The Sopranos”, and the New Jersey Devils. After reaching the Stanley Cup Finals during the 2011/12 campaign, it’s been a tough go for the die-hard hockey fans in the swamp over recent years. Entering play this season, the Devils have missed the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons. A long way away from the franchise that hoisted Lord Stanley, hockey’s holy grail in 1995, 2000, and 2003. But Hey, this ain’t your father’s Devils. Long gone are the days of Scott Stevens, Claude Lemieux, Patrik Elias, Scott Niedermayer, Martin Brodeur and “Uncle” Lou Lamoriello. Times are changing for the black and red, and this season will be the most anticipated in recent years, by a country mile.

Tonight at Rogers Arena in Vancouver will be host to the NHL Entry draft, with the New Jersey Devils getting the first overall selection. Now it was only two years ago, the Devils selected highly touted Nico Hischier. The expectation is that Jack Hughes will go to the Devils, although Kaapo Kakko has certainly made the debate interesting. Thanks to a fantastic showing at the IIHF tournament.

Kaapo Kakko NHL Draft Profile

June 18, 2019

As of now, the debate rolls on as to who goes first in the Draft between Kaapo Kakko and Jack Hughes. Kakko is a 6″2 left-handed shooting right winger. You could argue, he is the most complete winger available in this year’s draft. He was able to work his way up through the TPS youth system, going back to 2015 with the U16 squad when he was only 14 years old. He ended his 2018 season with 22 goals and 16 assists in 45 games for TPS.

Prospect Highlight: Trevor Zegras

June 18, 2019

I have mentioned in my last few Prospect Highlight articles the increase in offensive play in the NHL. While goals and assists are definitely aspects of the game to pay attention to, that is not the only offensive aspect to be cognizant of; play away from the puck and drawing the defensive eye away is also key. With that in mind, I will be looking at Trevor Zegras.
