from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
...Andrei Svechnikov of Barrie (OHL) will be selected second. He was the top-rated North American skater in NHL Central Scouting's final rankings and is the brother of Red Wings' 2015 top pick Evgeny Svechnikov.
Right wing Filip Zadina of Halifax (QMJHL) and left wing Brady Tkachuk of Boston University are expected to be taken third and fourth, in either order.
If that's how the selections fall, the Red Wings, who need to bolster their depth on defense in the system, could have a number of highly rated defensemen from which to choose.
Evan Bouchard of London (OHL) is considered the top defense prospect after Dahlin. If he's not available at No. 6, Noah Dobson of Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL), Quinn Hughes of the University of Michigan and Adam Boqvist of Brynas Juniors (Sweden) are likely to be there.
