Scouting Report
The Swedish defenseman is an excellent skater who jumps into the play frequently, moves the puck well and has a good hockey IQ. Can quarterback a power play and is a slick passer. At 6’0”, he needs to add strength to compete at the NHL level. Uses his stick well to break up plays, a talent he will have to hone at the NHL level because he will never be a physical defenseman.
Long Range Potential: Speedy puck-moving defenseman.
