A Look At Detroit Prospect Jonatan Berggren

from Dave Hogg at NHL.com,

Jonatan Berggren was disappointed when he wasn't selected in the first round of the 2018 NHL Draft.

But two picks into the second round, the frustration ended when the Sweden-born forward was selected with the No. 33 pick by the Detroit Red Wings, who he cheered for as a kid.

"Detroit was my favorite team growing up," said Berggren, who turned 18 on July 16. "I liked Henrik Zetterberg very much."...

At 5-foot-10 and 181 pounds, he doesn't have ideal size for an NHL forward, a factor that perhaps kept Berggren out of the first round.
