Scouting Report
Player with great size, strength and some offensive potential. Good hockey sense. Excellent in the corners and along the boards. Struggles with consistency and needs to work on the defensive aspect of his game. Considered a project.
Quotable

"We love this kid's size; he's actually closer to 6-5 and big. Fredrik is great at protecting the puck and has good skills. He just needs to improve his skating a little but we're excited to have him."
