The Florida Panthers have selected Linus Eriksson from Djurgårdens IF of the HockeyAllsvenskan in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Eriksson is a highly intelligent centerman known for his composure, game reading, and off-puck skills. He has the potential to be a promising NHL player.

He excels in setting up plays, running power plays, and demonstrating high energy and positioning without the puck. Learning from Aleksander Barkov could further enhance his skills and contribute to the Panthers' future success.
