Historically Norlinder has been deployed at ES and the PP playing pro in Sweden. He does not have a history of being used on the PK despite showing he is reliable at ES.
Sees the ice. Outlets accurately. More of a distributor than a shooter in the offensive zone.
Solid skater. Quick out of the gate. Not a physical defender. Adapting to the smaller ice surface and speed rush against will take some time but he has sound IQ and should adjust.
