None of the goaltenders in this year’s draft seemed particularly wow-worthy. So given the Red Wings’ wealth of picks, they could afford to go a little bit off the board for players with whom they felt comfortable.



The team’s goaltender need was essentially a given. Detroit parted ways with Petr Mrazek this spring, and Jimmy Howard isn’t getting any younger. The Red Wings have some good prospects in their system, but the depth chart was becoming dangerously thin.



The Red Wings were one of six teams to take two goaltenders in the draft (23 teams took a total of 29 prospects). The fact Detroit drafted a goaltenders who hadn’t even been ranked by Central Scouting could be seen as a red flag, of course. And Central Scouting ranked the other 11th among European goaltenders, which raises questions about his third-round selection.
