Albert Johansson is someone that the Red Wing could use on defense

Selected 60th overall by Detroit in the 2019 NHL Draft, defenseman Albert Johansson has developed into a solid NHL prospect and one who could be on the roster as soon as this season.

His overall game has improved and he showed his progress at training camp last season which gives hope to his chances this upcoming year.

With free agents on the defensive end, he may be one to watch in training camp as he continues to climb the ladder on his way to the NHL.

His offensive game could help his push to play second power play quarterback, scoring six goals and 15 assists for 21 points in 66 games last season for the Griffins.
