Profile Contributed By: Johan Nilsson

History

Fredrik Naslund comes from the Vasteras system in Sweden. Going back to the 2002-03 season, he has bounced around the system. He played part time in the Swedish 2nd-tier league and part time in the Swedish U18 League in 2003-04 where he was really dominant scoring 12 goals and 15 assists in 14 games.

He remained with the U-20’s in the Superelite during the 2004-05 campaign. For the third straight year, Naslund has continued to put up some promising numbers.

Talent Analysis

Näslund is a huge winger with plenty of offensive potential. Näslund has fine technical skills, he has a good scoring touch and although he is far from being the perfect skater he is tough to stop when he reaches full speed with his large frame.

At 6’4, 210, Naslund has the all the makings of an imposing winger. He has a lot of potential and decent overall skill. He is not the greatest of skaters, but can get the job done when needed. He does a good job protecting the puck, has good hands and somewhat of a scoring touch.

Future

Naslund has “project” written all over him. Skating is going to be the key to his future.
