The Detroit Red Wings came away from the 2017 NHL draft with 11 selections, few of whom remain in the farm system.
Malte Setkov, admittedly a dark horse to make it to the NHL considering where he was drafted, has been sent down to HockeyAllsvenskan, the second-highest league in Sweden, by Malmo, where he had been playing in the top-tier Swedish Hockey League. Setkov had no points in six games and had been a scratch for three straight games.
The Redhawks made the announcement Monday, with general manager Patrik Sylvegård saying playing for AIK is better for Setkov’s development.
