The Detroit Red Wings decided to pass on a defenseman for their third straight pick in 2018. The Wings selected Right Winger Jonatan Berggren who hails from Uppsala, Sweden. Berggren is trying to become an NHL regular down the road, joins the likes of Robert Hagg of the Philidelphia Flyers whom also was born in Uppsala.
The Wings, expect Berggren to become an excellent top-nine forward in their future. Bergren is considered to be a bit undersized at 5’10, has real slick hands that accompany his crafty stick-handling ability.
Detroit added Berggren to an excellent crop of young rookie forwards this past draft.
