History

Warg is a big strong defense-first defenseman who was drafted by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the CHL import draft out of Sweden and should be playing with them next season. 

2007-08: He scored two goals and had eight points in 33 games for Vasteras in the Swedish junior league.  Warg attended the Ducks conditioning camp in June 2008.

2010-11: Warg returned to his native season after two seasons in the WHL and skated for Orebro in AllSvenskan (Sweden’s second league). In 50 games for third-place Orebro he scored 1 goal with 6 assists and was +10. Warg was the team leader in penalty minutes with 129 PMs. In 10 games in the six-team Kvalserien playoff tournament he had 1 assist with 37 PMs. Orebro failed to reach the Elitserien, finishing fifth.
 
 

Talent Analysis
Warg is a smart player who makes good passes and skates well.  He will need to fill out and learn the North American style of play.  With the right development, he has the size and skills required to become a solid NHL defenseman.

Drafting is not always an exact science, and scouting is indeed one of the toughest jobs in the world. In 2008, the Anaheim Ducks had a draft you could describe as disappointing. While the franchise hit big with talented blueliners in Jake Gardiner and Justin Schultz, neither would ever don an Anaheim uniform, instead breaking into the NHL with Toronto and Edmonton respectively. The rest of the draft was a mixed bag of busts, project players, and depth acquisitions. While every draft is going to have the aforementioned group, the Ducks had very little to take away from a 2008 NHL Draft class that has produced many NHL players across all rounds.
