The 2nd-round selection has been projected as a bottom-six forward in the NHL. Clearly, the kind of player the team could build the future with, especially if you're realistic about his projections:
Eddie Genborg projects as a bottom-six NHL power forward who can bring energy, physicality, and defensive reliability to a lineup. His game is built on strength, positioning, and off-puck play, making him a valuable asset for teams looking to add size and toughness.
