Draft Profiles 2k20: Helge Grans is a smooth skating and point getting defender, but has some critical areas to improve

Related Topics: Grans, Helge Grans, Malmö Redhawks

Position: Defense (Right-handed)

RHD is a land of projects in the 2020 draft. Most of whom are unquestionably very talented, but will require some real work on the development side to get the best out of them.

One such player who could benefit greatly from that is Helge Grans.

Grans comes to us from the Malmö Redhawks system, where he’d been bouncing up and down his youth team and then the Redhawks Junior system, where he pretty quickly gained some interest due to just how easy the game seemingly comes to him. Grans greatest attribute by far is his skating, which is very well developed in all facets: lateral movement, edges, starting and stopping, he does it all with a calm, effortless smoothness that makes him very involved in most of the plays he's part of: he takes advantage of space by creating more, and if there isnt much, he'll try to make some to open up a pass, and his passing ability is very strong.
