Sweden’s offence at the Under-18 World Championship came mostly from the forwards eligible for the 2020 NHL Draft: Alexander Holtz and Lucas Raymond. They will be among the very top players picked in next year’s selection due to their amazing tools and offensive minds. But a good supporting performance out of Simon Holmström also helped lead Sweden to their gold medal.
Birthplace: Tranås, SWE

Position: Wing
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 185 lbs.
