Not just first 02 dman, but also second 02 player overall(Raymond being the first and until Grans the only one). Played his first CHL game too two days ago, where he played 11 minutes.

 

[JimboA]

Also noteworthy: he hasn’t played for the Swedish national team, but still made the team for the WHC-17. I haven’t payed attention so I can’t comment on his game though.

And yes, he’s the first ‘02 defenseman to play in the SHL. Second to play pro after Emil Andrae, I believe.

 

[theslatcher]

Has been real solid in both ends so far at the WHC-17, hasn't really made any mistake from what I've seen.

How does this kid compare to Broberg?

Listed at 190cm/6'3 now, big kid.

Not as dynamic with the puck.

Much better defender.

 

[theslatcher]

Looks like he might play in the SHL tomorrow, he's practicing with the team alongside Niklas Arell.

 

[theslatcher]

Registered his first SHL point today, in his first SHL game of the season. Not sure why he hasn't played more in the SHL this season.

First SHL-goal:

Sylvegård om jättelöftet: ”Han är vår nästa NHL-stjärna”

100 minutes played in the SHL and so has gotten an SHL contract. Patrik Sylvegård(GM of Malmö Redhawks) thinks he's already one of their best dmen, along with saying he's their next NHL star.

Well SHL GM's tend to always go pretty far with their praises. Grans is however playing extremely well right now. I think there's a pretty good chance he ends up in the top 15 of this draft.

First SHL-goal:

Nice wrister.

He’s going to be a big boy.

 

[ZZChris]

I really dont know who got the best upside between him and Wallinder for my 2020 fantasy league draft lol!?

Yep, he's got that man-child build. Don't know if he'll get any taller but he'll probably continue to fill out. Interesting that his Dad and older brother's are all just under 6'0 and Helge is listed at 6'3 and in that clip he looks even taller.
