Get to Know a Panther: Gustav Forsling

Birthplace: Linkoping, Sweden | Acquired: Selected off waivers from Carolina; January 9, 2021

Assets: A new breed of undersized defenseman who excels in puck possession and puck movement; he can produce points, too. Does not panic with the puck on his stick.

Flaws: Needs to prove he can play at a high level against tougher competition, and he will need to add more bulk to accomplish that - especially if he is to be a physical player.

Career Potential: Minute-munching, puck-moving defenseman.
