Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I tīpakohia a Zetterberg e te Detroit Red Wings 210th katoa i te whitu o nga rauna o te 1999 NHL Entry Draft
He aha? I whakahehia a Detroit i taua wa mo te "whakaheke i tona heke mai", me te hokohoko i te maha o ana whiringa o mua i te Draft 1999. I muri i te takaro mo Timrå IK o te Swedish Elitserien mo nga tau 2000-01 me te 2001-02, i hainatia e Zetterberg tana kirimana taumata whakauru i te 16 o Mei 2002. I haere mai a Zetterberg ki Detroit ki te takaro i tana wa rookie i te NHL i te tau 2002-03.
