After trading the 11th overall pick to the Arizona Coyotes and receiving picks 27, 34, and 45 overall, the San Jose Sharks uses the second newly-found second-round draft pick on Swedish defenseman Mattias Havelid. The 5-foot-10, 154-pound blueliner plays for Linköpings HC in the Swedish Hockey League. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he is teammates with first-round pick Filip Bystedt.
Havelid played 29 games in the J20 league and put up a solid 10 goals and 9 assists for 19 points in 29 games. He also played an impressive 20 games in the top-tier men’s league.
