Anton Wahlberg Scouting Reports

Has to be watched closely every time he hits the ice
Big body forward who's pace ranges from average to surprisingly quick - especially off the rush
Good stick - long reach - showed ability to make plays around opponents at the U18 Worlds
Primary ice comes at ES and PP with the national team - but he has shown he can PK over the course of the season - Involved - hard to move in traffic - a work in progress - his impact ranges
Leans mid-range power forward who can extend plays and provide secondary scoring - could end up being a player who can slide into top six at times but more suited as 3F

Middle six forward who can be used in a variety of roles Moves well for his stature. Good mechanics overall. Added quickness out of the gate as he matures. At the J20 level in Sweden his is deployed, most nights, in all situations. On the PK he needs to to stop on pucks / the play more often - always in motion on the big ice. On the PP he is used in the middle bumper position. His strength is his ability to extend plays, and protect pucks with his large frame and long reach. Average plus in the face-off circle. Less physical as the year has gone on. Leans on opponents but not punishing. Secondary scoring is possible. Match-up vs. top six opponents.
