Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of profiles of the top prospects for the NHL Draft on July 23-24, 2021.
For the second straight year, the Detroit Red Wings may use a first-round draft pick on a rising star from the Frolunda Indians of the Swedish Hockey League.
Last year with the fourth overall selection, Detroit took Frolunda winger Lucas Raymond, who could crack the Red Wings' opening-night roster for the 2021-2022 season.
"I don't expect him (Raymond) back with our team next year," Frolunda general manager Fredrik Sjostrom said.
This year, Frolunda's 6-5, 205-pound defenseman Simon Edvinsson could also wind up in general manager Steve Yzerman's rebuilding plans.
