Detroit — The Red Wings have officially added an intriguing prospect to their depth chart.
Forward Elmer Soderblom signed a three-year entry-level contract Thursday, and will challenge for an NHL job during the start of September's training camp.
Wings fans aren't going to miss Soderblom, 20, on the ice.
Officially listed at 6-foot-8, 249 pounds, Soderblom has developed nicely since the Wings drafted him in 2019 (sixth round, 159th overall). Soderblom, playing for Frolunda HC in Sweden, led the powerful team with 21 goals, while adding 12 assists, for 33 points (third) in 52 games.
