Fantasy Summary

A mobile defender with above-average tools across the board whose offensive production has been muted by playing against men as a teen. Boom-bust potential.

August 2024 – Many will look at Jansson’s statistics (only three assists in 50 games with Lulea) and think he has limited upside at the NHL level. However, his three points come while averaging just 7:04 minutes a night, which means he was sheltered in the 2023-24 season. In his time, Jansson displayed the capability to play against the highest competition in Sweden and showed that he deserves more of a shot heading into the next season as he had progression throughout the year. His passing ability is strong and should, at the very least, help him have a solid career in Europe. Jansson is still under contract till the end of this upcoming season, and once it expires, he will likely sign with the Panthers and spend a year in the AHL, barring a massive breakout season in 2024-25.  James Connelly

June 2023 – Jansson, 19, is an above-average skater who handles the puck well and plays with constant energy and initiative. He somehow already has a couple of professional campaigns on his resume in Sweden’s second-tier Allsvenskan, and next up is the SHL. Given that he has been playing against men for the last two years as a teenager, his muted offensive totals (15 points in 91 games) are not overly concerning. The Panthers brass hope that their fourth-rounder from 2022 will eventually develop the instincts and hockey sense to match his raw physical tools. Plays still tend to die on his stick as he skates and handles past opportunities into dead ends. His dominant performance against his peers at the most recent World Juniors (10 points in 7 games) is an intriguing glimpse into Jansson’s upside. He is an ongoing project, but the wait could be worth it. Ben Gehrels
