Swedish diploma in hand, Marco Kasper eyes job with Detroit Red Wings

Marco Kasper will be showing up at Detroit Red Wings camp with a diploma — but as good as that looks on a resumé, he likely will need more work experience.

The Wings got an all-too-brief look at their prize pick from the 2022 draft when Kasper flew from Sweden to Detroit in late March, and then promptly boarded the team plane bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba. His audition only lasted a game, however, as a knee injury prevented him from appearing in more than the April 2 outing at the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It did, at least, make an impression upon the 19-year-old.
