‘”You could tell early that he was something else,” Lundqvist said with Jeremy White on WGR, Wednesday morning. “You heard a lot of good stuff about him. A few years ago, he came out and had his first practice with us in the Elite League. He did stuff right away that was like, ‘Okay, this kid is something special.’ From then, he’s gotten better and better. This year, he matured a lot. He’s a top player in Sweden. I’m excited to maybe have a No. 1 pick in the draft. Hopefully it’s him.”‘
