‘Ostlund, 19, told reporters at the draft last June that he planned to spend two years in Sweden before making the move to North America. He wanted to help Djurgardens IF earn promotion from the second-tier league to the Swedish Hockey League, then win an SHL championship. Djurgardens IF lost in the championship series to fall short of promotion, allowing Ostlund to field offers from the Sabres and SHL teams like Vaxjo. Ostlund traveled to Buffalo to have his injured foot examined, then spent some time around the Amerks.’
