Sweden
A towering winger with offensive capabilities.
Fluid-skating two-way blue-liner with size and a solid shot. Needs to work on his playmaking and using his body more efficiently, but projects as a second- to third-pair defenseman.
A smooth, puck-moving defender. He is very patient and calm under pressure. Makes strong decisions both with and without the puck.
Offensive-minded defenseman with sharp skating and a higher-than-average hockey IQ.
Potential top-six two-way winger. Not strong in peripheral categories but has great hands and good hockey sense.
January 2025 - Johansson has taken on 20 lbs since being drafted by the Leafs in the fourth round of the 2024 draft. Don't let that growth fool you, Johansson is still somewhat undersized at 165lbs, although it's a positive step forward. He's shown improvements at both sides of the ice, now more engaged overall. [...]
Cerebral playmaker with a heavy shot. Skating and finesse in board battles allow him to play openly on a power play.
An intelligent defensive forward with upside as a slot-driven playmaker in a middle-six role.
The 19 year old Larsson, listed at six foot three and 203 pounds, is a sturdy, puck-moving defenseman with an accurate shot. Larsson will spend the 2023-24 campaign with the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL, and then will be on to the NCAA for the 2024-25 season. Drafted as an overager, Larsson will need plenty of development time over the course of the next few seasons, as he attempts to earn himself an NHL contract. Luckily for Larsson and the Rangers organization, the club holds his signing rights until August 15, 2028. If it all comes together for Larsson, he can become a big, bruising bottom-four NHL defenseman.
A very talented player who struggles with consistency that has led to his prolonged development, Nylander has the skillset of a potential top-six NHL winger.
