Don’t be shocked if Jonatan Berggren takes a top-six role with Red Wings this year

Jonatan Berggren should get his chance to show what he can do on the Detroit Red Wings first line, despite his lack of productivity.

In July, I posed the question if Jonatan Berggren would end up in the Detroit Red Wings top line. While it would shock some fans if Berggren skated next to Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond to start the season, the truth is: it shouldn't.

Why? Because Berggren produced when he skated alongside them as the 2024-25 season hit twilight mode, with four points and two goals between April 14th and April 16th, showcasing his potential if teamed up with the right linemates.
