The 20-year-old will move to Linkoping of the Swedish Elite League for the 2007-08 season.
2007-08: Zackrisson has spent his hockey career in Sweden, and this season was no different. Suiting up for Linkopings HC (SWE), the forward appeared in 55 games and racked up 13 points (4g+9a). 16 playoff games gave him another four points (3g+1a).
Talent Analysis
Future
The late-bloomer showed that the offensive abilities he displayed in junior hockey could translate to a senior league. However, he must prove he can continue scoring at the highest level in order to be of use to the Sharks in the future. He will be allowed to continue his development for a couple of seasons in the Swedish Elite League before signing an NHL contract. If he continues progress, he will be capable of playing third line role in the future.
