Rasmus Sandin, who has been playing outstanding for the Soo Greyhounds, and Axel Andersson from Djurgårdens IF are both ranked within the two first rounds of the this year’s NHL Draft by well-known scouting boss Craig Button.
Button recently ranked Sandin at #17 and Andersson at #35.

Axel Jonsson Fjällby and Alexander Nylander were left with silver medals instead of gold ones after Sweden’s 3-1 loss to Canada in the World Junior Championship Finals last night. Although the outcome may not have been ideal, both forwards had outstanding performances during the tournament, which we are extremely proud of.
Nylander, who served as an assistant captain, had six assists and one goal in the seven games played, helping Sweden become one of the top offensive teams in the tournament. He was also selected by the coaches as one of the top three players for Sweden in the tournament, along with Rasmus Dahlin and Lias Andersson.
Jonsson Fjällby, with two goals and two assists, caught everyone’s attention this year with his ridiculous speed and, of course, luscious locks. Take a look at his SHG against USA in the semi finals below.

Read what Brayton J. Wilson, 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship reporter for WGR 550, had to say about Alexander Nylander’s impact on Team Sweden in the tournament so far:
WJC: Nylander, Davidsson playing important roles for Sweden
”So far through three games at the 2018 World Juniors, Nylander has a goal and four assists, and his five points is one point behind teammates Elias Pettersson (Vancouver Canucks), Rasmus Dahlin (2018 NHL Draft eligible), and fellow Sabres prospect Casey Mittelstadt for the tournament lead in scoring. Nylander was also honored as the Player of the Game on Thursday for his two-point effort (1G, 1A) against the Czechs.”
Defenseman Rasmus Sandin was recently named December’s OHL Rookie of the Month. With nine points in 11 games and a solid defensive game we are not surprised, but very proud about Sandin’s effort.
Rasmus is eligible for the NHL entry draft this summer.
Congrats Rasmus!

Rasmus Sandin, our beloved and impressive client, has made a real impact on the people of Canada. Here’s what a journalist has to say about him and the Greyhounds:
What an incredible year it was!
The Swedish National Team, led by Playmaker client William Nylander, won the World Championship in Cologne/Paris.
That was the peak of a very good 16/17 season and Nylander was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament, after being Sweden’s leading scorer in the tournament.
We grew over the year and hired Amanda Albelin, who will be in charge of our home page and our social media pages. We are so happy to have her onboard!
During the year we have signed partnerships with several brands and service companies, which is super exciting.
We welcomed some new faces to our younger part of the family: Philip Broberg, Emil Malysjev, Hugo Alnefelt and Wilmer Svensson.
Now it’s time to see what 2018 has to offer! We hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve and is ready for 2018.
