No clue on the actual odds, but Sweden seems to producing a nice crop of future defenders.
I believe all these players made their way to NA after the draft, but my memory might be mistaken.
Karlsson (1st), Edler, Oliver Ekman-Larsson(1st), Larsson(1st), Rundblad(1st), Hedman(1st), Brodin(1st), Enstrom, Klefbom(1st) and Tom(1st). Wouldn't be surprised to see first round selections of Swedish defenders having one of the highest success rates over the last 10 years, although relatively few of them picked.
