C/W Hugo Leufvenius - Sarnia Sting, OHL (2017 Undrafted)

[Killerjas]

Having not been picked for 2 consecutive drafts, Leufvenius is performing greatly for Sarnia. He has the highest point total of his team. Hugo is a big kid who was a projected 3rd to 4th round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

Very curious if he is gonna get picked this year, I highly doubt it though. He is an overager who uses his strength a lot.
Early projection: he is gonna get undrafted and get some tryouts this summer.

Big guy, strong on the forecheck, good hands around the net. Hopefully he makes the Swedish WJC team.

Blame the hipster priests of the ~16th century who made latin versions of their Swedish names. Some of those names are internationalized, Linnaeus is Linné in Swedish.

3/4th liner at best if he gets better.
