“Gustav did a really good job in training camp,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “Talking to Steve (Yzerman), (Griffins coach) Ben Simon, (Red Wings assistant GM) Ryan Martin, (advisor to the GM) Niklas Kronwall, everybody that’s seen him have all been real pleased with his play. They think he’s one of their better defensemen on a nightly basis and I think we’re all cautiously optimistic that he can come up and do a good job.
“He defends well and passes the puck and competes. If you can defend well and pass the puck out of your zone -- we all know that’s been an issue for us – what that does is help you offensively.
