2017 NHL Draft: Buffalo Sabres take Marcus Davidsson with pick 37

With the sixth pick in the second round, number 37 overall, the Buffalo Sabres have selected...center Marcus Davidsson from the SHL.

Davidsson has a similar skillset to the team’s first round draft pick, Casey Mittelstadt. He’s a great skater, has good hockey sense and plays with energy. He’s a strong two-way player who can be used on both special teams units. The 18-year old Swede is versatile, and can play either center or left wing.

Standing 6’0’’, 192 lbs, Davidsson played last year in the SHL, scoring 9 points in 45 games as an 18-year old.
