Round 7 Pick 209 – D Viktor Loov

with the 209th overall pick in the 2012 NHL entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected defender Viktor Loov out of the Allsvenskan.

An overager, Loov would need to impress big-time to get drafted. Loov would demonstrate a mature, mobile game in his first season in the Allsvenskan, which gave the Leafs something to work with.

The Swedish defenseman would join the Leafs in 2014, scoring 21 points in 74 AHL games. Loov’s first impression at the AHL level must have caught the Leafs’ eye, as he received a 4 game stint in the NHL during a slightly down season. Loov would tally two assists.

Loov would then play 41 games with the Marlies to start the 2016-17 season, scoring a mere six points. Loov was dealt to the New Jersey Devils in February 2017 in exchange for forward Sergey Kalinin.

Just over a year, and 46 AHL games (17 points) later, Loov was traded once again. This time, he was dealt to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forwards Chris Bertschy and Mario Lucia.

Following a 24 game stint with the Iowa Wild, Loov left for Jokerit of the KHL.

The Swedish defender would score 17 points in 56 KHL games last year.

Loov is set to play out the 2019-20 season with Jokerit.

All in all, 2012 wasn’t too bad of a draft for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
