RANGERS PROSPECTS REVIEW:
Malte Stromwall Left Wing: AIK Swedish 1st Division
Ht: 5' 10" Wt: Shoots: Right Born: 8/24/1994
Signed by New York Rangers on April 17, 2015 as an unrestricted free agent Stromwall is rated as the Rangers number 9 prospect by Hockey's Future. Playing for AIK in the Swedish 1st Division Stromwall tallied 25 goals and 17 assists in 49 games, was a plus 2 and had 26 penalty minutes. 21-year old Strömwall was a teammate of 2015 third-round draft pick Robin Kovács at AIK. He is a fast, agile skater with an excellent shot that loves to carry the puck and strike quickly. His defensive game needs work and it remains to be seen whether or not he can consistently produce beyond a single season but he said to have core strengths to build on that are almost impossible to teach.
