History

Excluding Nicklas Bergfors, the right shooting winger Fredrik Pettersson was the flashiest Swedish player drafted in 2005.

Pettersson represented Sweden at a pair of U18 tournaments in 2004-5 and is part of the plans for the 2006 WJC in Vancouver.

 

Talent Analysis

The undersized 5’10 winger combines excellent speed and technical skills in a very impressive way. Pettersson is strong while entering the offensive zone in full speed and has a very good slap shot, which he does not hesitate to use. In addition to being a quite productive player point wise, he has also proven to be a good leader and willing to play physical. His stock went down after an average U18 WJC tourney where he ‘only’ scored a goal and two assists in seven games.
