Swedish right defenseman with good size / skill, acceleration, and fluid agility. He makes many smart decisions with or without the puck. He is an offensive defenseman with nice skills, but he at times seems to lose focus and drive. A confident player who you expect to play with finesse along with a bit more physicality and bite. More than willing to lead the transition out of his zone with a strong carry that leads the rush and will jump down in the slot if the attack allows. In his end, he is more comfortable when he gets pucks back, as he doesn't attempt to battle for it, just waiting for a miscue of turnover. If he played with desire and aggression, its would be easier to get on board.
