Monday afternoon, the Red Wings announced a new contract for forward Jonatan Berggren. The two parties agreed to a one-year, $1.825 million deal.
This contract is a tad heavy on the AVV side, but for good reason. It’s an opportunity for Berggren to show the Red Wings what he can do. For all intents and purposes, it might be his final opportunity.
The 24-year-old put up 24 points in 75 games during the regular season. Berggren averaged 12:59 per game in 2024-25.
Time will tell if Steve Yzerman has any more deals up his sleeve before Free Agency begins on Tuesday.
