VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Two Swedes drafted six spots apart could turn out to be steals for the Detroit Red Wings.
Hakan Andersson, the Wings’ director of European scouting, shared anecdotes about both Albert Johansson and Albin Grewe after the Wings wrapped up the 2019 NHL draft having made 11 selections. Antti Tuomisto headlined Saturday’s haul as the Wings chose him 35th overall, selecting a second straight big defenseman who shoots right.
