Emil Djuse, Skellefteċ
He won a silver medal with Sweden at the World Juniors in 2013, but went undrafted and had a bit of a tough time at the SHL level early in his career. After coming to Skellefteċ in 2016, things started to fall into place for the intelligent rearguard. Djuse has taken strides each year, and now he has become one of the best defensemen in the Swedish league.
His underlying numbers are strong, and he’s on pace for a career high in points. Earlier this week, Sweden’s head coach Rikard Grönborg picked Djuse to play in next week’s Beijer Hockey Games, which gives the 25-year-old a chance to show his skills at the international level.
NHL teams have Djuse on their radar.
“There’s a lack of defensemen on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, which means his chances are getting bigger”, Djuse’s agent Jacob Hedin told Norran.se a few weeks ago. “There are several NHL teams that are looking at him.”
