10. Florida Panthers – Timothy Liljegren (D, Rogle BK, SHL)

What a year it’s been for Timothy Liljegren. After being projected as the second overall pick behind Nolan Patrick, he saw his stock drop.

Nevertheless, whoever lands Liljegren will be getting a top end defensive prospect. If the Panthers end up selecting him at 10th, he’ll be joining a solid prospect pool and could end up being a rock on their back end.
