History

The Leafs went searching for the next Swedish late-round gem with their seventh-round selection. Gunnarsson was passed over in the draft for three straight years before being selected this time around. In 30 games during the 2006-07 season with Linkoping of Sweden's Elite League, he posted only two goals and two assists.

Talent Analysis

Considered an all-around defenseman with good puck-moving abilities, he has the ability to take care of his own end and make a smart outlet pass

Future

Will play for Linkoping in the 2007-08 season
