Weiermair, 20, is a right-shot center known for his success in transition. He provides smooth delivery through the neutral zone with crossovers, drives to the net, and an ability to cut back when good defenders close in, yet cuts inside on poorly gapped ones.
He takes initiative to start give-and-gos and is not afraid to make contact with his opponents, enabling him to consistently find space across the ice.
With the 187th pick, Gustav Sjoqvist was selected from the AIK from the HockeyAllsvenskan League.

Sjoqvist, 19, brings his strong defensive skills to the table. His 6-foot-3 frame and weight of over 200 pounds give him a distinct advantage, making him an aggressive and calculated heavy hitter.
Known to be a heavy shooter, Sjoqvist scored 11 goals in 31 games in his final AIK Jr. season. In his time with AIK he gained experience at the professional level in Sweden's second-tier league and contributed modestly while maintaining a positive plus/minus.
