The Red Wings acted quickly after missing out on Swedish phenom Fabian Brunnstrom when the club signed Finnish scoring sensation Ville Leino to a one-year NHL entry-level contract. Leino, 24, scored 28 goals among 77 points (in 59 games) for Jokerit of the Finnish Elite League.

Leino, who stands 6'0" and 182lbs., was named the league's top regular season player after finishing second in scoring and goals and third in +/- rating (+34).
