Draper made the move to wing last season and will almost certainly play there again this time around now that Mike Modano has been added to the picture. When he's healthy, Draper is a 20-point player given his placement on the team's fourth line and his age, but this will likely be the final chapter of the yeoman's long career and he'll serve as a mentor for the Wings' young forwards while getting limited ice time.
