In May, the Detroit Red Wings signed Berggren to a three-year Entry Level contract. This contract will begin with the 2021-22 season. His cap hit if he plays in the NHL is $925,000. If he plays for Grand Rapids (AHL) he will be paid $70,000.
Berggren will be making his debut in North America for the 2021-22 season. At 21, and after playing 99 games in the SHL over four seasons, he appears ready to attempt to claim a spot on the Detroit Red Wings roster. Berggren is a left shot winger who can play on either side of the ice. The playmaking winger could be the perfect fit for a middle-six roster spot playing with either Michael Rasmussen or Joe Veleno.
