Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson Facts

Drafted: 2015 round 2 #45 overall by Boston Bruins

A player who has worked hard at his all-around game, but needs to gain more consistency. That being said, he can be an offensively effective center; possesses a high level of hockey intelligence and plays with intensity. A smooth, yet not dynamic skater. An excellent passer; can turn a "nothing doing" play into a scoring chance. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014)
