David Edstrom's Player Profile

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 7th: "Edstrom, who checks in at 6-3, 185, and plays with skill and some pace ... World U18 Championship where Edstrom shined brightly and has been among the fastest rising players in this draft."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - June 5th: "A sturdy center who played quite well at the SHL level against men this season, Edstrom is a methodical forward with good finishing ability and a tendency for getting within 15 feet of the net. He can clean up loose pucks around the crease or deflect pucks on shots from a distance."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "Edstrom has been a steady riser this season, establishing himself as a borderline-dominant player against his peers and demonstrating he can hang against men. His stride is a little stilted and he’s not a great skater, but he’s good in very effective kind of way."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "A center with size, good skating ability and skill can be hard to find. At 6-foot-3 with plenty of time to tack on strength and fill out his frame, Edstrom has good touch on the puck and knows how to get around the ice."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "Edstrom is a well-rounded center with size who isn't overly flashy but has a lot of NHL traits. Edstrom is good around the net, kills penalties, wins a lot of battles and makes enough plays with the puck to produce good offensive numbers."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 29th: "Getting to see him in person really opened my eyes to his skating and hockey IQ, and he’s a strong dual-threat as a shooter and a passer. Edstrom has a big frame at 6-foot-3 and uses it to his advantage, and he scored everywhere he played this year. Scouts really sold me on him."
