Gustafsson signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Red Wings on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Monday.
Scouting Report
Has no problem with the offensive part of being a defenseman: he moves the puck well and can quarterback a power play. However, his play in the defensive zone has never matched his abilities with the puck and he is not a physical player, either. Can be productive in sheltered minutes and when paired with a defensive-minded partner.
Long Range Potential: Offense-first depth defenseman.
