The Detroit Red Wings hold the 13th overall selection going into the 2025 NHL Draft. Here are live updates from the busy day.

The Wings were contacted by teams beneath them in the first round, attempting to see if they'd move down the draft order while getting more picks. But with forward Carter Bear still available when the Wings picked 13th overall, the Wings weren't interested.

The Detroit Red Wings liked Carter Bear’s combination of competitiveness and scoring ability, traits their current club could use. They’ll have to wait a few years on Bear, a left wing from WHL Everett they selected 13th overall Friday at the NHL entry draft.
