Meet goaltender Jacob
Markstrom,
Florida's 2008 second-round selection, who backstopped
Sweden to its first ever gold medal at the 2007 Under-18
Ivan Hlinka Memorial. According to ISS, he is
technically sound and uses his big frame exceptionally
well. He limits his movement and gives shooters nothing
to shoot at. He has a huge upside and was ranked the
third-top goalie by ISS heading into the draft.
