SECOND ROUND, No. 52 - Joel Blomqvist

Position: Goaltender

Size: 6-1, 183

Team: Karpat (Liiga)

Allvin’s take: “Blomqvist, I’d compare him to Tristan Jarry at this point. Really calm, a play-reader. Really athletic. He needs to get stronger, as most of the young kids.”

THIRD ROUND, No. 77 - Calle Clang

Position: Goaltender

Size: 6-2, 194

Team: Kristianstads IK (Allsvenskan)

Allvin’s take: “Might be a little further ahead in his body composition (than Blomqvist). A real competitive player, and he’s a play-reader as well.”

FOURTH ROUND, No. 108 - Lukas Svejkovsky

Position: Center/right wing

Size: 5-10, 165

Team: Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL)

Allvin’s take: “He has hockey sense, his skill level, and also a good skater.”
