Nils Lundkvist on being ready for the challenge
Lundkvist, 21, was recognized as the SHL’s best Swedish born defenseman by winning the Salming Trophy in his final season with Lulea. He registered 32 points on the strength of 14 goals in 52 games this season. Those goals were the most from any defenseman 21 years or younger in SHL history.
The 2018 first round pick is now signed to his ELC and ready for what’s next.
“I am going to the best I can to improve (at camp) and show everyone the player I am,” Lundkvist said after Day 2 of Development Camp. “I feel like I’ve had a great couple of years back home in Sweden. It feels like I’m prepared for this and hopefully I can do my best. It’s not me that is going to decide if I’m ready.”
“I haven’t stressed,” he said about getting ready. “Getting older, getting more experience both on and off the ice I think has been good.”
Lundkvist is expected to make the team as the third RD and partner with newly signed Patrik Nemeth.
NHL: Maple Leafs GM feeling the heat
