Profile Contributed By: Johan Nilsson
History
2006-07: He was among the very best players in the Swedish U20 league, scoring 54 points in 41 games.
Talent Analysis
A very well-rounded player, Hjalmarsson stands out with his speed, technical skills and intensity. He's a good goal scorer with a quick release and above average playmaking ability who has so far produced at all levels. Although he has plenty of flash offensively, Hjalmarsson is also a hard worker with excellent attitude and penalty killing ability. He needs to become stronger.
Future
Hjalmarsson will remain in Sweden in the immediate future. In years to come, he could develop into a scoring winger in the NHL.
