Scouting Report
The Swedish goaltender put up good numbers in Europe but has had his ups and downs in North America. He has good size and strong positioning. However, he tends to rely more on technique than athleticism, which can be a problem on smaller North American rinks. If he can become more consistent, he may emerge as a reliable puck stopper.
Long Range Potential: Sound depth goaltender with some upside.
