A very young Swedish giant rearguard doesn't offer much offensive capability at this juncture, but loves to take care of business as an intimidating presence using his size in all possible engagements, to the point of almost playing dirty. He is relatively mobile for a kid this large with good footwork and skating ability. Takes few undisciplined pics along the way, as he will use his stick, elbows and hits to intimidate opposing attackers as he engages physically in front of the net and along the boards with frequency. A PK asset as he keeps the crease clear. He can handle the puck and make the outlets, and shows no panic when he has the puck. Long term development player that could payoff big.
