Scouting Report
The Swedish defenseman is blossoming as he reaches his prime. He is a terrific skater who can carry the puck out of trouble or make a good first pass. Is getting better at picking his spots for joining the rush. His lack of size can be a problem in his own zone, and he is at his best when paired with a defensive partner who lets him focus on his offensive skills.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
