Gabriel Carlsson Facts

Player Type: Defensive DefensemanPhysical DefensemanTwo-Way Defenseman
Drafted: 2015 round 1 #29 overall by Columbus Blue Jackets
Agency: Premium

Big stay-at-home defenseman with excellent reach and good hockey sense. Carlsson is also quite mobile for his size and has a good first pass. Offensively, he will never put up any big numbers, but has the potential to become a more than capable shut-down defenseman. (EP 2015)

Brother: Gustav Carlsson
