With the 202nd pick the Buffalo Sabres select right winger Joel Ratkovic Berndtsson of the Frolunda HC J20 club of the J20 Nationell league in Sweden.
I’m not familiar with the player, but his point production put him fourth in draft eligible forwards in the J20 and thirteenth in points per game for draft eligible players. Some other people’s thoughts on Ratkovic Berndtsson:
Let’s break this selection down:
-good offensive instincts (4th in scoring among J20 Nationell draft eligibles)
-Average skating, good compete level
-A while out from North America but will get looks in the SHL this season
Somewhat unrefined game but great value pick.
