Talent Analysis
Figren is flashy, an excellent skater with good endurance. Checks very hard and is a good two-way player. Figren has also some great offensive tools, including a good goal scoring ability, nice technical skills and a killer shot, which is especially valuable on the power play. He does not have any major flaws, but he is inconsistent, his size is not intimidating and at times Figren can appear to be a tad selfish with the puck.
Future
Will come to North America and likely play for the AHL Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
