The Detroit Red Wings have invested heavily in prospects from and playing in Sweden, and now are seeing the benefits.
The Detroit Red Wings were one of the most dominant teams in the NHL in the early 2000's. A huge component of those rosters were the Swedish-born players that led the team to multiple championships. Players like Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg, Niklas Kronwall, and Tomas Holmstrom are forever remembered as crucial pieces of different Stanley Cup runs.
The team selected German defenseman Moritz Seider sixth overall in the 2019 NHL Draft. In 2020-2021, he played a full season with BK Rogle in the SHL and it readied him for a top-pairing defensive role with the Red Wings. Similarly, Jonatan Berggren is an intriguing Swedish forward that could impact the Red Wings in 2024. Two seasons ago he was a 15-goal scorer at the NHL level, but he spent the 2023 season with the AHL team, racking up 56 points in 54 games with Grand Rapids.
