Anaheim goes with another Swedish defenseman, Jacob Larsson. He's a two-way threat with a nice frame, great mobility and vision.

Big smooth skating puck moving Swedish defenseman. You couldn't get any more Bob Murray with that pick.

• Internationally, Larsson represented Sweden at the 2015 Under-18 World Junior Championship (0-3—3 in five games), 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial (0-1—1 in five games) and the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
• In 2013-14, Larsson was named Top Defenseman in Sweden's Under-18 league after recording 4-8—12 in 17 regular season games and adding 2-4—6 in five playoff contests to earn the league's bronze medal.
• He patterns his style of play after his favorite player, Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson
"He plays a surprisingly mature game with good decisions both on the offense and defense. Good size and strength and a smooth mobile skater. Very quick first pass, makes smart plays and finds the open man well."
