On the Wings

George Malik points out that the Wings’ official site has an updated number for Tomas Kopecky and free agent signing Dallas Drake. Kopecky gave up #28 to Brian Rafalski and will take #82 this season. Dallas Drake can’t wear his St. Louis number, 10, here in Detroit, as it hangs in the rafters with Alex Delvecchio’s name on it. And he can’t wear the number he wore on his first time in the Winged Wheel, 28. So, it looks like he’s picked #17, most recently worn by Kyle Calder, as well as, more famously, Brett Hull and, more nostalgically, by Doug Brown.
