History

2007-08: Carlsson split time between Sweden’s top junior league (SuperElit), the country’s second-tier professional league (SWE-1) and the Swedish Elite League (SEL). Though he had a difficult time in the elite league, as he was held scoreless in 26 games, Carlsson displayed a more potent offensive game at the junior level. Not only did he help his junior team, Brynas, take second place in the SuperElit league, but he was also a member of the Swedish U20 team that won the silver medal at the World Junior Championships.

Talent Analysis

Carlsson is a two-way defenseman with solid offensive abilities. He plays a smart game and possesses an effective wrist shot. Though he is not a physical player, he will initiate contact when necessary.  

Future

Carlsson is expected to stay in Sweden during the 2008-09 season, as he is under contract with Brynas of the SEL.
