Bro… I can’t believe it. Last year it was Joel and Max Wahlgren, the Wahlgren Twins who encapsulated NHL fanbases with the uniqueness of Swedish twins who were eligible for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Along with the Wahlgren’s, the USHL had their own duo of potential draft pick twins, in Ty and Dylan Jackson. This year though, the 2020 NHL Entry Draft is blessed with two more Swedish twins. Meet Leo and Linus Lööf, the Lööf Twins. Sure, you won’t find them at a high spot in a 2020 NHL Mock Draft, but these two are quite the intriguing duo. Playing for the Färjestad BK J20 team in the SuperElit, as well as the Färjestad BK’s SHL team, these twins are seemingly on a more productive path than the Wahlgren’s were a year ago.
The draft is stacked with NHL top prospects like Alexis Lafrenière at the top, with Quinton Byfield, Tim Stützle, Lucas Raymond, Alexander Holtz, Jamie Drysdale, Marco Rossi, Cole Perfetti, Jake Sanderson, and Yaroslav Askarov rounding out the top 10. The rest of the draft has a ton of great talent as well, like Anton Lundell, Kaiden Guhle, Dawson Mercer, Braden Schneider, Dylan Holloway, Hendrix Lapierre, Connor Zary, Justin Barron, Jack Quinn, John-Jason Peterka, William Wallinder, Rodion Amirov, Jacob Perreault, Seth Jarvis, Ty Smilanic, Jeremie Poirer, Noel Gunler, Mavrik Bourque, Lukas Reichel, Tyler Kleven, Ridly Greig, Justin Sourdif, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Jake Neighbours, Luke Tuch, Helge Grans, Jan Mysak, Michael Benning, and Antonio Stranges.
The current NHL Draft Lottery odds, go in order as the Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators, San Jose Sharks (Senators), Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes (Devils), Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks (Devils), Nashville Predators, Toronto Maple Leafs (Hurricanes), Edmonton Oilers, New York Islanders (Senators), Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes (Rangers), Pittsburgh Penguins (Wild), Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning (Sharks), Colorado Avalanche, Vegas Golden Knights, Washington Capitals, St. Louis Blues, and Boston Bruins (Ducks).

Time for Jim Benning’s impression of Brian Burke in 1999
Draft all the twins
Canucks call dibs.
Interesting. It might garner a look, but the stars have to align so the pair can be drafted by the same team. The Sedins were a very special scenario, combined with Burke's bulldog determination to draft the twins together. I think if a team goes out of its way to draft any pair of twins in the hopes of getting Sedins 2.0, might be overlooking better prospects/opportunities to improve the team.
Hopefully we can get them in the 3rd and 4th round
The Wahlgren twins still definitely better
calm down dude, so much cringe.
The F in Lööf is pronounced as a V btw
I don't think there'll be any twins that can compare to the Sedin Twins not soon anyway
Louuuuuffff
hey man, you ever maybe want to play eashl with me ?
I've been watching this channel for a while… I've never heard your voice like this!
Lmao, Sweden
It's not even just brothers. Landeskog has a twin sister you know?
I know it's not really the same thing, but every pair of hockey-related twins I know happens to be Swedish
Keep in note that they are only 17 which means they have 3 years of Draft Eligibility
Jesus your voice is annoying, you sound like a muppet lmao
Yooooo, Legorocks. In 2011 the Canucks drafted a player by the name of Pathrik Westerholm (LW) in the 6th round. Who by the way, a Swede who ALSO has a twin named Ponthus!!! These two played together on the same team and line, supposedly modelling their games after some famous twin Swedes!!! Kinda neat, huh.
I am a swedish twin
"Loof" xD Try saying "love" in a really cheesy way and the pronounciation will be a bit closer 😛
Niederbach’s also Swedish twins eligible for the 2020 Draft
annnnd then Leo goes to St. Louis Blues
Leo loof was drafted by the blues
