They have zero NHL games combined. Not sure how this would put him in line for a promotionMust have been the Mazur and Lombardi picks that put him in line for a promotion…. You don’t usually get strong prospects like that in the 3rd/4th rounds.

Thought he already was the AGM.
When I saw this I kind of thought it would be to get Draper out of the director of amateur scouting role eventually.
It's not just about specific draft picks.Must have been the Mazur and Lombardi picks that put him in line for a promotion…. You don’t usually get strong prospects like that in the 3rd/4th rounds.
For all we know, Draper may have been involved on a lot of decisions made not connected to the draft.Draper spent the last four seasons as Red Wings director of amateur scouting, overseeing the franchise's amateur scouting department, running the NHL Entry Draft and assisting the Red Wings' management team in various hockey operations decisions.
When Verbeek left, when it mattered, Horcroff got promoted. Over Draper. And Horcroff is still the right hand man.Draper has clearly been Yzerman's right hand man for some time. No surprise here.
I feel like this is an example of an organization putting legacy ahead of ability. I hope this is a case where Draper has lofty career ambitions which eventually lead him to take a role with another team.
