## Resource

Calgary Hitmen surprise fans by drafting Swedish defenseman Jakob Leander 48th overall in the CHL Import Draft — a seventh-round Flames pick who’s been rising through HV71’s junior ranks. Standing 6’4” and packing 209 lbs, Leander’s got NHL upside, but his move to North America triggers complex European compensation rules. With roster spots tight and key forwards like Axel Hurtig departing, Leander and fellow import Artyom Katsuro could be key pieces in the Hitmen’s future — and the puzzle’s still being solved.
