The 20-year-old is the organization’s top prospect and won the Salming Trophy this season, given to the best Swedish-born defenseman in the SHL. With Luleå, Lundkvist has posted back-to-back 30+ point seasons.
He’s projected to be a top-four defenseman capable of playing high-end defense while also scoring.
