Detroit has the advantage of having had a large number of draft picks in recent years.

They have drafted 82 players since 2010. Of those 82, 12 have played at least 100 NHL games. The Flames have drafted 61 players in that same time. Of the Flames 61, 9 have played at least 100 NHL games (which will become 10 when Andersson plays his 100th game later this month). Percentage-wise, the success rates are nearly the same: 14.63% for Detroit and 14.75% for Calgary.

They also seem to attract a lot of College free agents every year. So many kids who grew up in Michigan jump at the chance to sign a deal with the Wings once their college careers are over.
