Per Detroit Hockey Now’s Kevin Allen…
Swedish forward Charlie Forslund (176th) can play either wing. He’s proven to be a prolific scorer, albeit at the lower levels of Swedish hockey. Known for his quick release and ability to find open ice in the scoring areas, Forslund would tally 13 goals in only seven games with Falun IF of the second division of Swedish junior hockey.
He also got into 19 games with the Falun IF’s senior squad in HockeyEttan, the Swedish third division. There he’d post 9-10-19 digits.
Next season, Forslund is expecting to play for Mora IK in Sweden’s top junior league.
Here's a few of my game reports on Forslund from February/March.

Really interested to see how he's going to develop over the next few years. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/V6vwtwJjaS
