Hockeysverige.se: Red Wings invite 19-year-old defenseman Carl-Otto Magnusson to training camp

According to Hockeysverige.se’s Rasmus Kagstrom, the Red Wings are inviting towering defender Carl-Otto Magnusson to training camp.

It’s too late for the Red Wings or any other NHL team to sign the 6’7,” 223-pound 19-year-old from the QMJHL’s Moncton Wildcats (after July 15th, teams cannot sign overseas players until their next regular season ends, and in Magnusson’s case, he’s also still draft-eligible), but Magnusson was passed over in this past summer’s NHL Draft.

As such, Magnussuon can at least improve his standing to be drafted as a 20-year-old next June.

According to Kagstrom, Magnusson will play in the Red Wings’ two-game Prospect Games series against Dallas as well.

  1. Whats the point? He can’t sign and if he has good showing, he can get drafted next year? Who are the Wings doing a favor for?
