We’ve heard all about the star players that changed teams at the NHL trade deadline, but in return, a number of prospects switched organizations and now, to varying degrees, will be counted on to contribute in some way to a brighter future.Here are the prospects move at the NHL trade deadline, analyzing what they are as players and where they are at in their development.
At 5-foot-10, 173 pounds, he represents today’s typical smallish, puck-moving defenceman. The thing you notice most when watching him is how his skating pops. He’s got great edges and agility, with first-unit power play potential. He comes by his play honestly as his dad, Niklas, played several years in the SHL, while his older brother Isaac plays for HV71.
His play for Djurgardens in the 2018 post-season, when he notched eight points in 11 games, is likely what stuck out most when Ottawa was thinking of this acquisition. Davidsson is streaky and being able to find consistency in his game will be key in terms of his NHL potential. Considered to be a slick, play-making winger with good vision, transitioning to the fast-paced, physical play in the NHL will be the biggest hurdle for Davidsson to overcome.
