FlamesNation Top 20 Prospects 2019: #6 Filip Sveningsson

Since being drafted, Filip Sveningsson has won championships in two different leagues (scoring the clinching goal in one) and a U20 scoring title in a professional league. He turned 20 last month.

Seemingly doomed to obscurity as a seventh round pick, Sveningsson has shot up the FlamesNation top 20, landing 11 spots higher than he did last year. The 6’0, 181 pound winger (shoots left, plays both sides) has been noted for his offensive flash and his impressive year-over-year growth. Can he replicate his success again?

How did we get here?

A consistently strong though not quite spectacular producer during his teenage years, Sveningsson worked his way up for his hometown Gislaveds team before moving to the bigger HV71 club of nearby Jönköping.
