Inside the Article:
The 2023 NHL Draft is in the books, and on Saturday at noon, the NHL Free Agency period will begin. That being said, the Detroit Red Wings have already begun announcing the signings of some of their own restricted free agents, including Gustav Lindstrom, who is getting a one-year deal worth $950,000.
Lindstrom By The Numbers
Lindstrom, who is 24, was initially selected by the Red Wings in the 2nd Round of the 2017 NHL Draft. In 36 games with the Red Wings during the 2022-23 season, he scored one goal and had seven assists.
Bottom Line: Surprise?
I have to admit that this signing comes as a bit of a surprise to me as I believed the Red Wings would move on from Lindstrom. That being said, Steve Yzerman is in his position for a reason, and I’m in mine!
