Måns Josbrant: Shot King or Project Pick

Måns Josbrant’s blistering shot makes him a draft buzzworthy prospect, but his size and defensive game keep him firmly in the project category. With 17 goals and 37 points in 36 games last season, and a 16-goal tear in just seven U18 games, his puck-rushing and angle-changing release make him a nightmare for goalies — especially on the power play. But at 5’11”, he struggles to win battles along the boards and lacks consistent play-driving ability. Scouts are split, with NHL Central Scouting ranking him 57th among Europeans and McKeen’s at 283rd — a gap that reflects his one-dimensional game. Teams betting on him will need patience, hoping his strength and overall game catch up. His ceiling? A complementary power-play scorer. His floor? A reliable goal-scorer in the SHL. A late-round flyer with serious upside — if you’re willing to wait. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
