NHL Draft 2017: Detroit Red Wings select Gustav Lindstrom with No. 38 pick

With the 38th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, the Red Wings select defenseman Gustav Lindstrom out of Sweden.

Here’s what we know:

A puck-rushing defenseman who plays a well-rounded game. He displays impressive passing skills as he dishes out crisp and accurate passes. He is a good stick handler and carries the puck up ice with confidence. He sees passing lanes and open ice very well when going back to retrieve the puck and displays a strong ability to play a long accurate outlet pass, transitioning from defense to offense in a split second.
