Detroit – Gustav Lindstrom will get an opportunity to showcase his development next season – just not yet in North America.

The Detroit Red Wings’ 2017 second-round draft pick will play in Frolunda this coming season, one of the top hockey programs in Sweden.

Lindstrom, 19, is expected to be a top-four defensemen for Frolunda, and the Wings expect Lindstrom to excel.
