Earlier this summer, the New York Rangers signed Swedish defenseman Nils Lundkvist to his three-year, entry-level contract. The team selected him in the first-round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, so naturally, Ranger fans will feel some excitement about his official arrival to North America.
Since being drafted, Lundkvist has been working on his craft with Luleå HF of the SHL.
