By Stephen Whyno |  Associated Press Montreal — When Brian MacLellan declared his intention to change up the Washington Capitals’ goaltending situation, the seasoned general manager knew he was joining a crowded market given how many teams already had the same need.

Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman was busy before Day 2 of the NHL draft on Friday, acquiring St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso for a third-round draft choice.

Detroit — The Red Wings began the second day of the NHL Entry Draft on Friday by selecting a pair of forwards, Dylan James and Dmitri Buchelnikov, in the second round. A 6-foot, 181-pound left wing, James was the rookie of the year in the United States Hockey League and was taken with the No. 40 overall pick. James had

Marco Kasper shouldn’t have any trouble fitting in here. The newest member of the Red Wings organization speaks three languages — German, Swedish and English — and they’ll all come in handy whenever he joins his NHL team in Detroit.

Detroit — You won’t be attending an NHL draft party, unless you’re a real puck-ologist. And I’m fairly certain you won’t get into a heated debate over whether the Red Wings should take a nifty center such as Marco Kasper or Matt Savoie, or a shifty winger such as Cutter Gauthier or Jonathan Lekkerimaki.
