The Canucks picked the Swede defenseman with the 80th pick and since then he's only shown massive improvements in his game. Made out of a big frame, the 6'03'' and almost 200 pounds left-handed defenseman is well known for his physicality and his versatile two-way game.
Mikael Samuelson, important voice of the Canucks development, narrated the prospect's presentation:
The Canucks inked the defenseman to a 3-year ELC a few months earlier during the seasons. However, he'll continue his development in Sweden with Obrero HK of the SHL along with Jonathan Lekkerimaki and possibly one of the best prospects available this year, Leo Carlsson.
