The Swedish Hockey League and Swedish hockey system have produced a number of talented defencemen over the last handful of NHL Drafts. Whether be the large and physically imposing Victor Hedman, or the smooth-skating offensive dynamic that Rasmus Dahlin possesses, Sweden has done something right when it comes to producing elite blueliners.
Defenceman Calle Odelius is another name who could be available at the 59th selection.
