Scouting Report
The Swedish defenseman is a fine skater who can neutralize opponents in one-on-one situations. He needs to get stronger, which should happen as he moves into his 20s. Consistency is his biggest issue, as is the case with many young defensemen. Has to avoid positioning errors. He is learning when to join the play to get more involved offensively, and he is at his best when he plays assertively.
Long Range Potential: Talented young defenseman.
