"I'm an offensive defenseman, who likes to play with the puck, with a great short pass," said Berglund. "I like to follow the rush up ice and want the puck."
The Swedish defenseman represented Sweden at the 2016 U-17 Four Nations Tournament, where he logged an assist in three games.
Scouting Report:Bruins Assistant General Manager Scott Bradley: "Our Swedish guys were on top of him. They think he's a mobile D. He's skilled, ultra-skilled, and he skates well. Small. Six-footer, but [European scouts] P.J. [Axelsson] and Sven [Svensson] and Victor [Nybladh], they were pounding the table for him and we went along with it and I think we might have something there. Talking to his strength coach after the pick, he's got him working on putting some muscle and weight on so we look forward to seeing him, too, at development camp."
