Sweden
Hugo Gabrielson
An offensive-minded defender who can run a powerplay in the future.
Oliver Johansson
Limited games played in his draft year but sneaky quick with strong offensive instincts. Needs more game time to get a decent read on his upside.
Liam Dower Nilsson
A solid two-way forward who showcases some quality skill and offensive instincts. He may not boast an incredible ceiling but he has the opportunity to be a quality middle-six producer.
Emil Bemström
A gritty, speedy forward who with impressive distribution and goal-scoring prowess.
Filip Hållander
Dangerous forward with good skating and decent defensive skills. Top-six upside, most likely at wing even though he's also capable of playing center.
Emil Heineman
A goal-scoring winger who plays a very good 200-foot game. A very good skater. Not afraid to play the body. Great on-ice effort level. Very good by the boards. Lacks high-end offensive tools but projects to become a good complementary winger at the NHL level.
Simon Edvinsson
Big, smooth-skating defenseman with outstanding puck handling ability. Aggressive in joining the rush and activating from the offensive blue line. Top pair NHL upside.
Victor Stjernborg
A steady two-way forward who lacks some dynamism offensively but finds a way to contribute every night. His motor runs high and he gets in on the forecheck to create offense. Stjernborg is going to be an interesting developmental project as his offensive game is solid but simple and he should be able to translate it as he gets a bit stronger over the next couple of seasons. He can play on the wing or at center and projects to a bottom-six role with a bit of offensive production.
Jonathan Myrenberg
A puck-moving, right-shot defender, with a solid frame and an offensive mindset.
Simon Lundmark
A good short-range passer and sees the ice well; however, he lacks consistency with his passes. Fluid skater but lacks top-end speed. Offensively limited and doesn’t add much value with hits and blocks.
