Detroit Red Wings: Draft Summary From Rounds Two Through Seven

Following round two the Detroit Red Wings only had one pick in rounds three, four, and five where they decided to take a defenseman and two forwards to continue filling out the draft board.

Albin Grewe- Forward

In the third round, the Detroit Red Wings had the sixty-sixth overall pick where they elected to draft forward, Albin Grewe of the Swedish league. Grewe is a center and right-winger who stands six-foot, 187-pounds and only eighteen years old. With Djurgardens IF of the Swedish league, Grewe managed thirty-four points through twenty-five games.

Grewe is a similar forward to Mastrosimone; he is fearless on the forecheck, puts pressure on the opposing team very well. Grewe is quick, flying down the right side and crashing the net hard, which should prove well if he can translate it to the next level. Offense proves the most upside here for the Red Wings, but Grewe has shown flashes of relentless defense, sacrificing his body to block shots, great qualities to have in a player.

Ethan Phillips- Forward

Following the third round, and a string of three picks really close together, the Detroit Red Wings had some time to breathe and re-evaluate the draft board in time for selection ninety-seven overall. In the fourth round, the Red Wings selected Ethan Phillips, who is an eighteen-year-old forward committed to play his hockey at Boston University. Phillips stands five-foot-nine, 146-pounds and is a right-handed shot.

Phillips offers the Detroit Red Wings a defensive-minded forward who excels at his best tools: defense and hockey IQ. The best thing to offer from Phillips is his ability to play solid shut down defense as a forward, he has an excellent shot but is still more desired for his defensive tools. In 2018-19 Phillips finished his time with the Selects Hockey Academy when he joined the Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL where he tallied sixteen goals and forty-three points in fifty games.

Cooper Moore- Defenseman

In the fifth round, the Detroit Red Wings used the 128th selection of the draft to select an eighteen-year-old defenseman from the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL. Moore is a six-foot-one, 181-pound left-handed shot who put up thirty-one points in twenty-eight games for the USHS prep team, Brunswick “A.” Moore is committed to playing his college hockey at the University of North Dakota in 2020-21. There is little to no information to be found on this kid, so everything available is above.
