Fantasy Summary

A two-way center with a pro-style game.

Observations

August 2025 – Hillström is a big defensive centre who is one of the top faceoff centres available in the draft. He has the skill to produce in a crash the net/screen the goalie role, but if he is to make the NHL it will be on the back of his play shutting down opponents. Pat Quinn

June 2025 – Selected 114th overall, Gustav Hillström is now a member of the New Jersey Devils. Mark Henry

Final Rankings – One of the top faceoff centers in this draft with a 60% win rate, Hillstrom is a projectable, defensively responsible bottom-six center. His offensive skills are a bit plain, but NHL potential exists beyond the production.—Austin Kelly
