Detroit Red Wings 25 Under 25: Christoffer Ehn rises to #16

Christoffer Ehn was one of the more surprising “oh yeah, he’s here too...for the whole season?” players last season. With so much focus on the defensive lineup, Ehn just sorta showed up and stuck around. Like a bodega cat.

Our 4th line was a classic Jeff Blashill Bingo Wheel Of Doom™ situation, and Ehn slotting in wasn’t particularly flashy, but when he was noticeable, it usually was for a positive reason. And that’s about as much as you can hope for from a young 4th liner these days.

Strengths:

Ehn leans more towards defensive responsibility than offensive playmaking, which makes him a solid asset for not only a bottom line anchor but also a penalty killing role.
