Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Dennis Persson has come off a season playing both men's and junior's hockey with Västerås. He scored impressive 26 points in 28 games in the juniors and added two assists in 19 games in the Swedish second tier league. During the U18 WJC Persson was the most consistent Swedish defenseman, scoring a goal and 5 assists in 6 games.
Talent Analysis
Persson is a decent skater with good technical skills and puck movement. He has great hockey sense and reads the play very well. Persson usually solves situations with his smarts and does not very physical. Usually quite confident and consistent in his own end, but at times he could choose the play more simple.
In the offensive zone, Persson has a fairly good shot which he should probably use more often, as he tends to look for passing openings too much. He is a skilled playmaker and has a tremendous ability to keep the puck in the zone on the power play, while being pressured by the opposing penalty killers. Persson needs to improve his game overall, like most young players, but could also use more muscles and upper body strength.
