Observations
January 2020 – Fagemo turned heads at the 2020 World Junior Championships slotting in to Sweden’s top line with fellow countrymen and Canucks prospect Nils Hoglander. With many eyes fixating on Hoglander entering the tournament, Fagemo made sure he was not overshadowed by his line mate by leading the World Juniors in both goals and points, with eight and 13 respectively. Fagemo led Sweden to a bronze medal and proved he has high-end skill and elite scoring ability. Following the tournament, the 19-year-old was loaned back to Frolunda to finish the season, where he has put up six goals and eleven points in 20 games this season. Julian Mongillo
October 2019 – Fagemo is one of the many new faces selected by the Kings at the 2019 entry draft, and the organization did not waste anytime inking him to a three-year entry-level contract a few weeks later. The fast skating winger can play both wing positions which satisfies the need within the organization at the forward level on the right side. The young Swede turned heads at training camp this season but was ultimately loaned back to Frolunda of the SHL to continue to mature. Playing against stronger men overseas will help Fagemo make a smooth transition into pro hockey in North America when the time comes, and with not many other players ahead of him on the depth chart he could get his opportunity to make the NHL sooner than expected.

June 2019 – Fagemo has been drafted 50th overall by the Kings. Jokke Nevalainen
June 2019 – Fagemo was officially measured at 6-foot-0 and 190 pounds at the NHL Draft Combine. Jokke Nevalainen
December 2018 – Fagemo was draft-eligible already last summer but went undrafted because of injuries and inconsistency in his draft year. This year, he started the season in Swedish junior league SuperElit where he scored ten goals and 14 points in eight games before being promoted to the top level, the SHL. He’s been earning more responsibility as the season has progressed, and now has five goals and ten points in 21 games. Fagemo has also added eight points in eight games at the Champions Hockey League. Fagemo is a very talented goal-scoring winger with good upside. He’s expected to play a big role for Team Sweden at the World Juniors. A strong showing there in addition to a strong finish to his season in the SHL could make him a potential second round pick next summer. Jokke Nevalainen
