Red Wings take 'big swing' on J.P. Hurlbert as NHL draft grades roll in
The Red Wings acquired forward J.P. Hurlbert at No. 23 overall by trading goaltender Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth, a move that drew mixed but generally positive reviews from draft analysts. Elite Prospects, The Athletic, and The Hockey News gave the Red Wings' overall draft class grades ranging from C to C, with individual praise for Hurlbert as a skilled scorer described as "a big swing" the team needed. The Red Wings also selected Victor Plante in the second round at No. 47, joining his brother Max in the organization.
