PLAYER TYPE
Smart, fluid Swedish forward with playmaking instincts and a game built around pace and support.
Sandberg’s early appeal is tied to how naturally he connects plays. He supports underneath possession, moves pucks before pressure arrives and can accelerate through seams once defenders shift toward the first option. His skill level is strong enough to create individually, but his hockey sense is likely to be the more important NHL trait. The sample is still thin, so the projection remains volatile, particularly around finishing and defensive detail.
