Who will Yzerman take at #6?
It’s the most basic answer, but William Eklund should be Detroit’s pick here. It just makes too much sense. Yes, Detroit needs more than a little help at center, but considering the lack of elite talent in the pipeline and the fact that they’re picking 6th overall, best player available needs to be the philosophy. Eklund has loads of skill and a very, very high ceiling. Go for talent and snag the Swede.
