"He is a two-way, strong skating defender," said Christian Ruuttu, the club's Head European Scout.
"He can play the power-play and penalty-kill and is a leader on his team highlighted by the gold medal this past spring, the first gold medal Sweden has won in the Under-18 Worlds. Each player we talked to talked about Tobias was him being a leader on their team. He is a special character player as well."
Earlier tonight the Kings chose center Alex Turcotte 5th overall. All subsequent rounds - rounds 2 through 7 - take place tomorrow, Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. and will be broadcast on NHL Network.
