The 2022 45th-overall pick had just one assist and a minus-10 rating 19 SHL games with Linkoping HC this season. The 5-foot-10 defender was also loaned to Djurgardens IF and had two goals and 14 points in 18 Allsvenskan games, helping them gain promotion back into the SHL.
Havelid, 21, might join the San Jose Barracuda next season if he makes his North American debut next year.
Top San Jose Sharks prospect Filip Bystedt played with Havelid on Linkoping.
“He’s my best friend. He’s funny, he’s dialed in, he’s a professional. I think everyone’s going to love him over here.”
What kind of blueliner are the Sharks getting in Havelid?
“He’s poised with the puck, he’s skilled, he’s great skating, which helps him get out of situations to move the puck up the ice. Great skill in the offensive zone too.”

Quenneville is back in the NHL. What a disgrace. He should be banned from the league for what he allowed to happen to Kyle Beach. It was an open secret, and he chose to let it continue so the team could focus of winning. Some things are more important than hockey.
Well said man. Fuck that guy.
Just like Paterno.
At least none of us have to change our opinions of that team
Obviously their owner has taken a ton of flack for this and rightfully so, but he also said the ducks were going to open the purse strings, so they will be in the mix
Totally agree man..
TOO many other qualified coaches to employ than that POS.
MORE reason to hate the Ducks
This’ll be great for chemistry. On the Cuda we’ll have Havelid and Bystedt, and on the Sharks we’ll have Mukh and Asky, as well as Eklund and…
I look forward to feeling a burning hatred towards the Ducks again. The Quennville hiring is a good start.
