From Patrik Allvin, Penguins Director of European Scouting:
"We see him as a bottom-six player. He had a really good playoff year, actually a really good second half in the Swedish pro league. Half a point per game in the playoffs, and he had a key role there starting off as a fourth-line center. Really took a big step in the second half. We’re excited about him, and he’s going to have a big role in Brynas next year, as well.”
