Washington Capitals Draft Axel Jonsson-Fjallby

With the 147th pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Caps have selected forward Axel Jonsson-Fjallby.

Here's SBN College Hockey on the newest Caps' prospect:

He skates with a low center of gravity and flies around the ice like a wrecking ball, using his size and speed to be a disruptive force. He knocks opponents off the puck and makes offensive plays by out-hustling the other team...

... Jonsson Fjallby is definitely a third or fourth line grinder at the NHL level. Given another few years to develop, he could be a very valuable piece as a guy that could fill one of those roles on an entry-level contract, a huge plus in the modern NHL.
