A hard shot with a bit of a mean streak? Sounds like the kind of defenceman the Canucks need more of, right? While it’s almost a stereotype for the Canucks to draft a Swedish defenceman, Myrenberg does seem to have a lot of tools in his kit that with the right development could see him make this team down the road.

He loves to take the body, and actively seeks out physical contact. He has a great shot, but may not be a great option in terms of playmaking. One of his strongest attributes is speed, and he will attack oncoming defenders, using it and his physicality to force turnovers.
