TRAVERSE CITY -- Gustav Lindstrom heard a little teasing about his last name. Kasper Kotkansalo shared a fond memory about an old hat. Malte Setkov laughed about his cross-border commute.
The next generation of Detroit Red Wings defensemen intrigue with their potential, with their size, with their puck moving skills. That's the franchise's hope, at least.
Lindstrom, Kotkansalo and Setkov are fresh to the organization after being drafted this summer, but the group here at development camp also includes 2016 selections Dennis Cholowski and Filip Hronek, and 2015 pick Vili Saarijarvi.
