History

2009-10: Bodin played for the Brunflo IK U18 team in western Sweden – a second division club – and represented Jamtland/Harjedalen in the TV-Pucken tournament for high school age players. In eight games at the TV-Pucken tournament he was scoreless and had 2 penalty minutes.

2010-11: Bodin skated for Ostersunds/Brunflo in the U18 Elit League. In 29 games he scored 5 goals with 3 assists and was an even plus/minus with a team-leading 60 penalty minutes. Ostersunds/Brunflo finished seventh in the North Division.

2011-12: Bodin made his men's league debut – playing with Ostersunds IK in Division 1 – and skated in 29 games for the club's U18 team. In 20 Division 1 games he scored 3 goals with 7 assists and was plus-seven with 18 penalty minutes. Ostersunds IK finished first in the B division and reached the second round of the playoffs. Bodin did not play in any playoff games. Playing for the Ostersunds IK U18 team Bodin scored 9 goals with 17 assists and was plus-12 with a team-high  94 penalty minutes. Not listed amongst the 120 European skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings, Bodin was selected by Detroit in the 7th round (200th overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft.

 

Talent Analysis

Has a huge frame (6'6") and good skating ability, something that is rare in a player of his stature. Bodin does not have much offensive upside, but he plays physically and has good hockey sense.

 

Future

Bodin will move up a division and play for HV71 J20 of the SuperElit.

Any team that loses three of its top six defensemen over the course of two seasons is bound to experience some growing pains as the organization looks to reload. While the current Detroit Red Wings roster may feature a blue line in flux, the future looks bright for Detroit's defensive depth. The Red Wings have a number of defensemen in their system that have developed their game a great deal during the 2012-13 season, including some who have already joined the NHL club. Detroit may have fewer forwards playing in the NCAA or Europe than defensemen but that is not an indictment of their quality, as that group features at least two players who appear to be future NHL players.

A paradigm shift occurred for the Detroit Red Wings after the 2004-05 NHL lockout. Gone were the days where Detroit would readily hand out early-round draft picks in exchange for veteran NHL talent. Instead, Detroit decided that they would need to hold on to their draft choices in order to build a prospect pool with skill and size that would help them compete in the new-look NHL.
