Talent Analysis
Berglund excels at most offensive aspects of the game. His height gives him a great reach, and enables him to protect the puck well. His scoring touch is evident, and he possesses excellent vision that enables him to find open teammates with his passes. Berglund is continuing to improve on his skating ability, which is good but not great.
