Three years in, Detroit Red Wings haven't gotten much from 2017 draft

The Detroit Red Wings came away from the 2017 NHL draft with 11 selections, few of whom remain in the farm system.

Malte Setkov, admittedly a dark horse to make it to the NHL considering where he was drafted, has been sent down to HockeyAllsvenskan, the second-highest league in Sweden, by Malmo, where he had been playing in the top-tier Swedish Hockey League. Setkov had no points in six games and had been a scratch for three straight games.

The Redhawks made the announcement Monday, with general manager Patrik Sylvegård saying playing for AIK is better for Setkov’s development.
