NHL Draft Day 2: Detroit Red Wings picks and analysis
The Detroit Red Wings hold seven selections on Day 2 of the 2026 NHL draft, which takes place Saturday, June 27 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, with their first pick coming midway through the second round. On Friday, the Wings traded goaltender Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth for the No. 23 pick, which they used on forward J.P. Hurlbert. The article notes that historically, the Wings' Day 2 draft picks have had limited success in the NHL, with only a small number of players from their 2019-2021 selections appearing in professional play.
