What happened: A Yahoo NHL draft projection suggests the Detroit Red Wings could use the 47th overall pick, in the second round, on Ben Macbeath, described as a high-scoring WHL defenseman. The piece frames Macbeath as a possible target rather than a confirmed selection, citing his skating and offensive mobility.

Why it matters: Detroit has leaned on the draft to rebuild its blue line, so a puck-moving defenseman would address a clear pipeline need. The second round is often where teams find mobile defensemen who develop into longer-term roster pieces, making the projected fit a logical one for the Red Wings' rebuild.

What to watch: Watch whether Macbeath is still on the board when Detroit picks at No. 47 and how the front office weighs defensive depth against other needs once the round arrives.
