Erik Brännström Facts

Drafted: 2017 round 1 #15 overall by Vegas Golden Knights
Agency: Premium

A puck moving defenseman with excellent skating skills. Brännström has impressive offensive instincts and hockey sense. Plays a pretty good defensive game, which will improve further with increased strength to go with his rather modest height. Passing ability stands out, shot is good and he loves to control the PP.
