THW’s List Of Prospects Playing In The SHL (14-15 Edition)

In the 2014-15 season, a total of 46 players will skate in the SHL, the top-tier Swedish League, formerly known as ElitSerien. Please note that this list includes only players actually playing in the SHL or the relative affiliates, but does not include prospects playing in Swedish lower-tier leagues. Moreover, the list doesn’t include former NHL prospects who aren’t NHL teams property anymore, like Kirill Kabanov. In the latest few years Sweden became a junior hockey powerhouse, as can be easily seen by the number of players drafted out of Sweden in the latest few drafts. Here you will find a list of NHL prospects playing in the SHL, ordered by NHL team.
