Red Wings Add Genborg, Gibson, and Two Prospects

The Detroit Red Wings selected Swedish forward Eddie Genborg with the 44th overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, highlighting his physicality and strong junior performance with Linkoping. Genborg managed 19 goals and 34 points in 28 junior games but struggled with limited ice time and production in Sweden's top league. In the fourth round, Detroit further strengthened its roster by picking right wing Brent Solomon from Champlin Park High School and left wing Michal Svrcek from Sweden, both considered promising prospects. The Red Wings also traded Petr Mrazek and two draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks for goaltender John Gibson. In the first round, Detroit selected Carter Bear, a versatile forward from the Everett Silvertips. These moves align with GM Steve Yzerman's strategy to build a balanced and competitive core through the draft and shrewd acquisitions.
