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.
