Swedish LW with a heavy shot. Decently thick at 6'1" and 185 lbs.

So we traded last year's 6th, and this year's 7th... for a player we could've taken with last year's 6th?
(Not that it matters... just kinda funny)

I like the idea here - SHL possession winger, OA.

They could've take Fagemo last year with that 6th they traded last year.

Both Portillo and Cederqvist are Dahlin acquaintances. The former from Frölunda and national team and the latter from TV-pucken.

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

I wish they would trade back as eagerly as they are to trade up. Especially from 7 & 31.

Another Black Book NR guy:

Cederqvist has flown under the radar most of the season, a season that he split between two leagues. With his clubs U20 team in the SuperElite, he put up 14 goals and 18 assists for a total of 32 points in 26 games and he was a leader and a star on his team. He also played 33 games with his clubs men's team in the SHL where he managed to put up 4 goals and 4 assists for a total of 8 points. Cederqvist who was overlooked at last years draft has had a strong development this season and he really had a breakout year with his point producing. In the SuperElite he was a shining light on a blunt Växjö team and he led the first line both on the ice and off the ice. It was evident that he was a man against teens at times, where he was bigger and stronger than his opponents and could push through traffic with his heavy style of play.

Skillwise it’s obvious when he's playing against juniors that he got a good offensive skill set with soft hands and a heavy shot and he has the ability to muscle through to get his shot off. His skating needs a bit of work but is totally viable and he's got a strong stride and is tough to stop. What's a bit worrying is his average hockey IQ, where he can be very inconsistent and doesn't seem to have a very good split vision. What's been interesting with his season is that he has been a point-producing star in the SuperElite and mixed it with a role as a fourth-line grinder in the SHL. He's been able to have success with both roles and has the ability to blend in everywhere on the roster. In a more defensive role with the SHL team, he's been good, but pretty far from great. Defensively he's struggled a bit against faster and smarter players and has shown a lack of defensive awareness, the defender he should have been marking has sneaked down to score a goal. His offensive game is decent at the SHL level, but he hasn't really gotten the chance to prove his worth offensively on a great offensive Växjö roster.
He is well built and is a strong player who can cope well with physical play, but he is a pusher and can often be seen with the stick in one hand to push the opposing player with the other hand, even in battles along the boards.

He is part of the Swede U20 eval camp along with Portillo:

They've both gotta start using this as their goal song now:
