An American despite the name, Mattias is the son of long-time NHLer Kjell Samuelsson. The Sabres picked him with the 1st pick of the 2nd round in 2018, 32nd overall as a big, stay-at-home shutdown bookend to their flashy first pick Rasmus Dahlin. Samuelsson has been a darling of USA Hockey, serving as the go-to tough-matchup defenceman for his cohort and captain of both the U18 and U20 world championships squads. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=196144 Standing
