He can do oddly high-difficulty moves, such as backhand passes and shots out of the blue. Reminds me of Quinn Hughes in his draft year. Lacks some strength, some mistakes, but seems to have a of rare attributes seen in high-ceiling players.
Some sources don't even have him ranked. Could be a big steal IMO.

I’m seeing him in mocks in the second round, but I think one or both of Freij and Sahlin Wellenius will sneak into the first. They are both being criminally underrated IMO. Badinka and Fransen as well.
Freij was one of the first Profiles I did this year.
