Background
Marcus Pettersson's father also played professional hockey and spent a very productive career playing in his native Sweden.
Pettersson has the height scouts love in a defenseman at 6'3", but it is not a misprint, his weight right now is somewhere in the 161-pound range.
Last season, Pettersson scored four goals and accumulated 18 points in 38 games while playing for Skelleftea in Sweden, the same club with which his father played. He also scored a goal in seven games for Sweden at the World Juniors.
Pettersson was ranked the seventh-best European skater this year by Central Scouting. If he continues to fill out and develop, scouts feel he could have a bright pro future in North America.
