How acquired: Selected with No. 45 pick in 2022 NHL Draft
2021-22 season: Linkoping (SHL): 23 GP, 0-0-0
What Havelid (5-9, 165) lacks in size he makes up for in confidence, Morehouse said. The 18-year-old also had 19 points (10 goals, nine assists) playing with Bystedt on Linkoping's team that won the J20 Nationell championship in Sweden's junior league.
His father, Niclas Havelid, played 628 NHL games as a defenseman with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Atlanta Thrashers and New Jersey Devils from 1999-2009.
"He's got swagger for a small [defenseman]," Morehouse said. "You have to play with a chip on your shoulder, especially when you get into that size. He has that."
Projected NHL arrival: 2024-25
