From my write-ups:
-Remember Be-bop and Rocksteady from the Ninja Turtles? Sweden had two blueliners that reminded me of them, in 6'5" 214lb Kristian Kostadinski, and 6'4", 203lb Axel Hurtig. Both are solid, not spectacular, stay-at-home players, with average speed, who play a simple, meat-and-potatoes game. Both have pretty good hockey sense for the D zone, where they play a punishing, physical brand of hockey, with quality positioning and anticipation, as well as gap control. Huge wingspans with their reach, and smart sticks, which help them clog lanes, and smother attackers. Neither will get too involved in transition, instead deferring to other players, although both can create a quality outlet pass. Neither one of these players will ever be counted on for offense, and indeed- neither will ever develop those skills. I would put Hurtig ahead as a player- he seems to be more mobile, and better with the puck, and I think he's showing up on most mocks, way before KK. I would pick Hurtig for the 3rd/4th round, and KK for the 5th/6th.

^so which is he Be-Bop or Rocksteady?
Please be Be-Bop. He was so much cooler than Rocksteady.

I would have preferred Levis but can't complain too much.
Levis goes two picks later, so will be interesting to compare them in 2-3 years as well.
