Chicago Blackhawks: Top 10 Prospects, Part 1/2

#6: Viktor Svedberg
As a defenseman, Svedberg is defined by his mass. Standing 6-foot-8, 235 pounds, Svedberg is a mountain of a man. If he is to play an NHL regular-season or playoff game, he would tie Zdeno Chara for the tallest NHL player ever to do so, and he has the potential to be included in the same conversation as Chara when it comes to effectiveness. A player of his size is nearly impossible to move, and Svedberg has been, and continues to be, a bulletproof high-slot defender, and is more than happy to clear his goaltender’s crease of any distractions. With some work on his offensive game, Svedberg could be a Blackhawk in just a couple years, and make history while doing so.
