Marek’s Take: Who wants to win a draw? One of the best prospects at winning faceoffs in the draft. A good two-way player his skill set leans to defence which is the strength of his game. Comparable: Jarrett Stoll

The transition to North America
Forsbacka-Karlsson made the jump from Sweden to the USHL to begin the 2013-14 season, and he's recorded 86 points in 110 games over two years.
The knock on Forsbacka-Karlsson is that he lacks consistency, but his 20-point improvement in 10 less games with Omaha this season is a good sign that the he's finding his game.
