Meet all of the Red Wings’ 2026 draft picks

Here’s a breakdown of each of the Red Wings’ selections in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft:

J.P. Hurlbert

▶ Pick: No. 23 overall (Round 1)

▶ Position: Wing

▶ Height/weight: 6-foot, 190 pounds

▶ Last season: Kamloops (WHL), 68 games, 45 goals, 52 assists, 97 points

▶ Scouting report: Headed to play collegiately at Michigan, Hurlbert is a pure goal-scorer who is prolific in the offensive zone. He plays with pace, good at anticipating plays and possesses a dangerous shot but as to progress defensively. He had an impressive rookie season at Kamloops.

Victor Plante

▶ Pick: No. 47 overall (Round 2)

▶ Position: Left wing

▶ Height/weight: 5-foot-10, 165 pounds

▶ Last season: USNTDP, 57 games, 21 goals, 27 assists, 48 points.

▶ Scouting report: Brother of Max Plante, a Wings prospect who won the Hobey Baker Award (best college player). Victor will play with his brothers, including Zam, at Minnesota-Duluth this coming season. Victor doesn’t overwhelm in any category but does plenty of things well. He’s versatile, has great hockey instincts, and plays with energy.

Michal Orsulak

▶ Pick: No. 79 overall (Round 3)

▶ Position: Goaltender

▶ Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 224 pounds

▶ Last season: Prince Albert (WHL) 36 games, 28-4-4 record, 2.22 goals-against average, .907 save percentage

▶ Scouting report: Some draft mocks had Orsulak going higher than this, and he was generally considered one of the top three or four goaltenders in this draft. From Czechia, Orsulak has a 78.8 inch wingspan and combines that with quickness. He competes hard and enjoys challenging shooters.

Adam Levac

▶ Pick: No. 108 overall (Round 4)

▶ Position: Center

▶ Height/weight: 6-foot, 176 pounds

▶ Last season: Peterborough (OHL), 60 games, 16 goals, 28 assists, 44 points.

▶ Scouting report: Levac was drafted Saturday on his birthday. He’s a scrappy, agitating center who plays with some bite to his game. He’s suited to a bottom-six role, embracing a defensive role and getting after opponents.
