The team has announced the news conference will include Draper and general manager Ken Holland. A source confirmed that Draper, 40, will announce his retirement.
One of my favorite wings ever, without a doubt. Faster than hell, great penalty killer and all around awesome dude.
This all officially ends the Grind Line days, as Maltby, McCarty and Draper are all done now. My favorite Red Wing line ever...mad love for them all
