Whether it be Nick Lidstrom from 1991-2012 or the present day with the up-and-coming Moritz Seider, they have had that lockdown defenseman. Over the past few drafts, the Wings have added prospects to the organization

But competition is good and brings out good aspects of some of these players. For the Detroit Red Wings defense core, things
