Jonas Brodin's Player Profile

Jonas Brodin is another solid prospect from the hockey factory that is Färjestads BK, Sweden's champion this past season. Steady, and intelligent is the name of the game for 17-year old who played 42 games this year against men on Sweden's best team. What he is not is the type of dynamic, end-to-end rushing defenseman who will blow past you and score 15 goals in the NHL. What he is is a safe, reliable player with superb lateral mobility and a professional level of puck composure. At 6-foot-1 and 165 pounds he has a lot of filling out to do, but for a team picking between 20 and 30 looking for the safe type of defenseman that you don't notice when he's on the ice, Brodin is a good pick. He will never be an NHL All-Star, but he could be one of those soldiers that you put out there to win a cup.
