DraftProspectHockey updated their draft order, so Detroit is at #8. Traded down with Anaheim for two first round picks. Two potential top six centers, and lots of size.
(8) Conor Geekie, C - Until he falls out of HP's top 10, gonna trust them.
(40) Kevin Korchinski, D - Size and speed from the back end.
(52) Sam Rinzel, D - 6'4 puck moving D.
(72) Gleb Trikozov, C - Russian with skill.
(104) Topias Leinonen, G - Best goalie in the draft?
(112) Daniil Orlov, D - Another defenseman with speed.
(127) Kasper Lundell, C - Industrious center
(136) Noah Warren, D - Big defenseman-
(200) Seamus Powell, D - just taking a shot on a USNTDP going the college route. Read about him after the fact. Boring.

he played LD a couple times this year due to injuries on the back end. he actually played really well there. i don't see him playing LD in the NHL long-term, but he wouldn't be the first player to play both positions, especially in a pinch.
