The Detroit Red Wings announced minutes ago that they’ve signed 2018 draft pick Seth Barton to a two-year entry level deal that begins next season.
The 6’3, 185 lb. Barton was originally drafted 81st overall by Detroit in 2018 with the selection they received in a trade from the Flyers in exchange for goaltender Petr Mrazek.
He’s a gold medal winner with Canada West at the 2017 World Junior A Challenge, and just finished his third year at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, tying for the team lead in defenseman scoring.
