Report: Red Wings defenseman looking to return to Europe

While the version of the Detroit Red Wings that hits the ice this fall for the 2023-24 NHL season has yet to be officially decided in terms of names on the roster, it appears as though one name from this most recent season that may not be back with the team will come from the blue line.

According to Swedish news reports, defenseman Gustav Lindstrom is allegedly looking to play next season overseas. 

The 24-year-old Lindstrom was selected by the Red Wings with the 38th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, and appeared in 36 games during the 2022-23 season, scoring once while adding seven assists along with a -16 rating. He's a veteran of 128 career NHL games, all with Detroit, and has a total of two goals and 23 assists along with a -33 rating.
