NHL Draft-Eligible Prospects In The SHL

The 2027 NHL Draft should have several Swedish players making a statement. Among those listed below, the top ranked player is Bosse Meijer from Frölunda. He got a few games with Frölunda’s pro club last season, but is expected to see some more time this year. He had 37 points in the U20 ranks in 2025-26 and was a leading player as Sweden won gold at last year’s Men’s World U18 Championship.

Dorian Eklund Aspe and Douglas Johnsson also have generated some first-round buzz. All three are more likely to spend some time in the U20 league, but will be worth watching closely when called up to the senior team.

• Bosse Meijer, C, Frölunda (2027)
• Dorian Eklund Aspe, C/W, Djurgårdens (2027)
• Douglas Johnsson, D, Skellefteå (2027)

Notable Former NHL Players In The SHL

The SHL has had a number of high-profile former NHLers return home to finish out their careers. Last year, Nicklas Backstrom came off of a long-term injury to resume playing with his home club. He’s expected to be back with Brynäs at some point this season as well.

This year there will be a few additions coming out of the NHL as Calle Järnkrok and Marcus Johansson will be skating in the SHL once again. Here’s a list of notable former NHLers in the league this season.

• Nicklas Backstrom, C, Brynäs
• Calle Järnkrok, C, Brynäs
• Jakob Silfverberg, RW, Brynäs
• Marcus Kruger, C, Djurgårdens
• Marcus Johansson, C, Färjestad
• Erik Gustafsson, D, Luleå
