Theodor Niederbach

Theodor Niederbach is adjusting to the smaller North American ice surface.  He represented Sweden in the most recent junior showcase tournament collecting one assist in five games.  Niederbach should be one of the top forwards for Sweden’s World Junior Championship next Christmas.  He will play professionally for Frolunda (SHL) next year.

ETA: 2023/24

Jared McIsaac

Jared McIsaac hopefully is healed from the three shoulder injuries that have hampered his development.  He will play in Grand Rapids (AHL) to start the season and could see some time in Detroit before the end of the year.  If he stays healthy, McIsaac should be a mainstay in Detroit within two years.
