July 2024 – Gustafsson was selected 77th overall by the Nashville Predators. Mark Henry

June 2024 – Viggo is the guy that you’ll never know is playing that game, but that mean’s he’s doing his job well. He thrives by clogging the neutral zone and defending against rushes, succeeding quietly on defense and cleaning up garbage around the net. He plays with a level of grit, too. At times, on the ice, he looked the part of an overager because of how reliably he performed for Sweden at the 5 Nations; but funnily enough, he’s actually one of the youngest players in his class, with a September birthdate. That level of maturity in his game makes him a worthwhile mid-round swing for a team looking to shore up their defensive depth. (Final Ranking: 113) Seth Ditchfield
