The Detroit Red Wings today selected seven players during the second day of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. The Red Wings chose right wing Eddie Genborg (44th overall) in the second round before taking goaltender Michal Pradel (75th overall) in the third round.

So, Yzerman used his top pick to select left wing Carter Bear, a goal-scorer with a high complete level. As with most draft picks, it’ll be a few years before he reaches the NHL, but Bear fills an organizational need.
