Gustafsson agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was selected by the club with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. The 18-year-old blueliner spent the 2025-26 campaign in his native Sweden with HV71, generating three assists in 27 contests. The towering defenseman figures to spend at least another year devloping overseas before making the jump to North America, though he should be in attendance for training camp in the fall.
