Wings Sign Gustav Nyquist

The Detroit Red Wings announced this morning that they have signed Swedish forward Gustav Nyquist to a two year deal. Nyquist is reporting to Grand Rapids immediately and will begin playing with the Griffins.

Nyquist, a native of Sweden, has played for the University of Maine and is a finalist for this year's Hobey Baker Award, which is awarded to the top college player throughout the nation. This is Nyquist's second time being nominated.

Here are some stats:

In 113 career games with the University of Maine Black Bears, Nyquist has tallied 144 points.
50 goals and 94 assists. He also has raked up 64 penalty minutes.

Nyquist was also a 4th round draft pick by the Red Wings in 2008. If he's anything like the Swedes we have now... Nyquist will become a great addition to this Red Wings organization.
