The Under-20 camp review concludes with prospects from Team Sweden.
Team Sweden
Mattias Backman, Defense, Detroit Red Wings: I was surprisingly impressed with Backman. I didn't go in with high expectations, and he didn't overwhelm with above-average tools left and right or anything, but he moved the puck well, showed fine instincts, and decent mobility. At the least, he's certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Rasmus Bengstsson, Defense, Florida Panthers: Bengtsson didn't have his best performance and wasn't the calm, steady possession force I was accustomed to seeing. He flashed fine puck-moving skills and instincts, but his decision-making was a little off.
