Ricard Blidstrand Facts

Drafted: 2010 round 7 #206 overall by Philadelphia Flyers
Agency: Premium

A big and strong defenseman. Plays determined and can play physical in his own end, but should do it more frequently. Moves the puck well and has a very good shot from the point. Passing game and decision game could use some improvement. Good first-pass. (EP 2011)

Brother: Robin Blidstrand
