The annual introduction to the NHL for rookies is the last act of a frenetic couple of months for the Swedish teenager, who is receiving rave reviews.

Ducks first-round draft pick Leo Carlsson, right, practices during the team’s development camp on Thursday at Great Park Ice in Irvine. Leo Carlsson is selected by the Ducks with the second overall pick of the NHL draft Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. IRVINE — The tipoff that Leo Carlsson might indeed be the second-best player in what many consider the Connor Bedard draft – first among equals, as it were – could be this: A month before last week’s NHL selection process, the 18-year-old Carlsson was playing with the big boys in the IIHF World Championships.
That is a selling point, obviously. The beach day Carlsson and several others enjoyed on July 4, a day off during the week-long development camp, had to have reinforced that. “I mean, I got some tips from my agent on some answers and stuff like that. But I was myself. I didn’t have any problems with it.”
“I think I’ve spoken to everybody,” he said. “I mean, of course, it’s hard with new faces everywhere, stuff like that. So it’s kind of hard to remember is who sometimes, because there’s so many.”
