Some players to watch out for.
Magnus Svensson-Paajarvi
Eliteprospects.com: An offensive type of player that skates very well, has fine technical skills, excellent hockey sense and a nose for the net. Pääjärvi is very dangerous one-on-one and also a gifted playmaker, although his sniper instinct is more obvious. Pääjärvi always puts up a lot of points. Needs to improve his defensive game as well as work ethic.
My thoughts: He's the player to watch for Sweden. He could be the third player taken at next year's draft.
Anton Mylläri
Eliteprospects.com: A huge and strong defenseman. Mylläri enjoys pretty physical and aggressive. He has very good hockey sense and controls the puck with ease. Good at setting up plays and very solid in his own end. Has some offensive skills as well. Could improve his acceleration and mobility.
My Thoughts: I don't know too much about him but Vasteras knows how to develop defenseman. They have produced the best defenseman of this generation in Nicklas Lidstrom.
Jacob Josefson
Eliteprospects: Josefsson is a highly skilled center. He plays a strong two-way game is very all-round. Hockey sense is excellent and skating ability and technical skills are very good. Nice creativity with the puck and a skilled playmaker and decent goal scorer. Makes smart decisions and plays a mature game. Gets involved in the rough stuff and has pretty good timing in his hits.
My Thoughts: I am very interested in how he develops this year. He playing on one of the best programs in Sweden.
Anton Lander
Eliteprospects: A very smart two-way player with excellent hockey sense. Lander reads the game well and makes mature decisions with and without the puck. Plays with plenty of intensity and is skilled offensively.
My Thoughts: He's a teammate of Magnus Svensson-Paajarvi so I think they are on a same line. In a short tournament chemistry is everything.
William Wallén
Eliteprospects:A smallish forward with brilliant qualities as a hockey player. Wallén is a decent skater and a great goal scorer with soft hands. Shows great attitude on the ice and skates hard. Always dangerous and creative with the puck. Is among the most talented Swedish players born 1991.
My Thoughts: He has quite a few teammates from Djurgerden on this team. He could be the best of the Djurgerden bunch. He's going an unlikely route for a Swedish player. He will be heading to the Mississauga St. Michaels Majors of the OHL.
That's My Take
