As Marco Bombino of overtheboards.net claimed in his 2016 profile of Borgstrom, who was still unproven at that point:
“HIFK U20 center Henrik Borgström might be the most underrated Finnish prospect for the 2016 NHL draft… Borgström can dangle with the puck even when there are two or three players around him. Has great hands and playmaking skills – makes timid, heady passes in the final third. Also, he has a good wrist shot with a quick release.”
Since the draft, Borgstrom has become not only one of the best players in college the previous two seasons but has also quickly risen up the Panthers’ and the NHL prospect rankings, becoming one of the most valuable in hockey.
