Henrik zetterberg biography of william hill
•
The story of Henrik Zetterberg is completely preposterous. In the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, Zetterberg was selected 210th overall in the 7th round. Dude was a 7th goddamn rounder. I know this was in 1999 and maybe European scouting wasn’t quite as strong as it is today but holy fuck. 209 guys were taken in that draft ahead of Henrik Zetterberg. Patrik Stefan was the 1st overall pick in that class in case you needed any more evidence of how drunk every NHL GM was at the 1999 draft. I’m just looking at some of the names of the first rounders in this draft. You’ve got Branislav Mezei 10th overall, Denis Shvidki 12th overall, Konstantin Koltsov 18th overall, Luca Cereda 23rd overall. I’ve never heard of any of those dudes before in my life. Only 7 guys in the entire draft ever went on to be All-Stars in the NHL. And 209 guys were taken before Henrik Zetterberg. Obviously the Canucks hit big with the Sedin twins but my god, that is bad.
So yeah. You could say that Zetterberg would go on to have a pretty decent career after that. He came into the league the year after the Red Wings won the Cup in 2002 over Carolina. As it stands right now, Henrik Zetterberg has scored 337 career goals and 960 career points in 1082 career games. Not quite a point per game but it’s still top 100 in NHL

PLYMOUTH, Mich. - For years, Steve Yzerman sat next to Henrik Zetterberg, nurturing his young protege's growth as a player and as a person.
The leadership mentoring provided by Yzerman, and Nicklas Lidstrom, was a sign of how highly the Detroit Red Wings thought of Zetterberg, a belief Zetterberg reinforced as he grew into a hockey superstar. It's why he was named captain of the Red Wings on Tuesday, an honor one of his biggest supporters was happy to see.
"Henrik is a natural leader, intelligent, confident," Yzerman said. "He's a complete player who can also be counted on no matter the situation. He will be an outstanding leader for the Red Wings."
It was, as general manager Ken Holland put it, the worst-kept secret in Detroit. Zetterberg, 32, was tabbed as the obvious choice to succeed Lidstrom the day Lidstrom retired last May. Holland told Zetterberg the news in mid-July, after a round of golf at Meadowbrook Country Club.
