— Malte Setkov wasn’t one of those guys who flew to Chicago and waited for his name to be called during June’s NHL Entry Draft.
Setkov wasn’t even sure the event was going on, let alone immersed in it.
“I was playing PlayStation,” said Setkov, at his home in Demark, where the 6-foot-6 defenseman received a call from his agent saying Setkov had been picked by the Red Wings.
Setkov was drafted in the fourth round, 100th overall, and both he and the team couldn’t be happier.
“It was pretty big for me,” Setkov said of being drafted by the Red Wings.
