In his second season among the pros, Isac Lundeström took another step forward as he moved to the centre position in Luleå. Being another of the Swedish players who have stood in the shadow of Rasmus Dahlin this year, Lundeström’s progress is clear, working hard to be better in the faceoff circle and his physical play.
Lundeström centred Sweden’s top line in the World Junior Hockey Championship in Buffalo, and he did it very well. He has become more defensively aware, and while the opening round of the draft is light on centres, Lundeström is a good option for a team that has need of a player to play in the middle on a second line.
