from Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now,

“He’s got the right attitude,” Red Wings vice-president of hockey operations Nicklas Lidstrom said. “I saw him play in Sweden the year before and I saw the same things. When he was playing as a junior player, he was one of the best players in the Swedish League two years ago.

“He took steps to become the rookie of the year this season. I’m really looking forward to what he can accomplish down the road.

“He’s got that great attitude of wanting to be better, wanting to become better, wanting to learn from other players. I’m really anxious to see what he can do for the Wings.”
