Sweden
Lucas Edmonds
Potential top-six two-way winger. Not strong in peripheral categories but has great hands and good hockey sense.
William Eklund
A highly skilled offensive player who has shown the ability to produce at a high-level in the SHL during his draft year. Older for the 2021 draft class but as talented as they come.
Filip Bystedt
Playmaking center with great size. Added mobility and strength could see him develop into a strong middle-six pivot at the NHL level.
Daniel Torgersson
A big, intelligent, strong winger with a scoring touch but lacks offensive creativity—projects as a bottom-six net-front presence that’s hard to knock off the puck. Skates well for his size and has a good shot, but he needs time to develop his all-around game—limited fantasy upside.
Noel Fransen
Fransen is a mobile puck-moving defenseman whose off-puck habits will need refinement before making the leap to the NHL but who could anchor a second pairing if he hits.
Linus Eriksson
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
Leo Sahlin Wallenius
Skillful and agile offensive defenseman who is still figuring out how to play at high speeds and defend effectively. Could make a solid #4 and power-play specialist if he puts it together.
Gabriel Eliasson
A violent hulking defenseman who moves well but just about every habit in his game needs to progress significantly for him to reach an NHL caliber.
Lucas Pettersson
At his best, an offensively gifted center with a high pace, well-rounded two-way game. Needs to show his best more consistently.
Alfons Freij
An average-sized defenseman who can create offence with an above-average shot and pro-ready one-timer. Has NHL skill and mobility but lacks hockey sense. Needs to develop on both sides of the puck; the offence is ahead of the defence. Has the potential to make an impact in all three zones and the upside to become a number three puck-moving defenseman.
