The only constant in today’s NHL is change.
Take a look at Detroit’s 2021-22 roster. Now, look at today’s. A lot has changed. Gone are the days of Nick Leddy and Vladislav Namestnikov. Free agent signees David Perron and Dominik Kubalik have been some of the greatest success stories of the new season for the Detroit Red Wings. With that said, the most impressive — and somehow overlooked — success story is the tale of Jonatan Berggren.
The Swedish forward, selected in the second round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, had all but locked down a roster spot before the start of free agency.
