This is his first season with Leksands IF at the U20 level, and he\u2019s had an impressive showing. He has played 30 games with the team, where he\u2019s averaged a .900 save percentage (SV%), his highest since he played at the U16 level. He holds a 2.75 goals against average (GAA) this season and has made a massive 576 saves. His 14-9-0 record is certainly not bad, but he will need to continue his development to be successful at higher levels of play.<\/p>\n
He had a good showing with Sweden at their recent World Junior A Challenge appearance. In three games, Tamm stopped 89 shots, yielding him a .908 SV% and 2.83 GAA. He helped Sweden take home a bronze medal in the tournament.<\/p>\n

He tracks the puck well and utilizes his goal crease effectively, but needs to work on closing potential holes in his stance more consistently. He leaves space for skilled puckhandlers to slide in and slip the puck past his body. If he can tighten up his frame and play a more refined, technically sound game, he will be more effective and valuable for his team. <\/p>\n
Viggo Tamm \u2013 NHL Draft Projection<\/p>\n
While there does not seem to be a consensus on where Tamm will land in this year\u2019s draft, he would likely not be picked up until one of the late rounds. Being a goaltender already generally yields a lower draft slot, and he does not stand out among the goalie class as a highly sought-after player. He will likely be drafted by a team looking to add a decent goalie to their pipeline and develop him.<\/p>\n

While it is not bad, by any means, he is definitely not ready for the level of offense that the big league would bring. Even at the junior level, he averages SV% somewhere in the .880-.900 range\u2013 definitely a middle-of-the-road figure. <\/p>\n He will need time and development at increasingly higher levels of play to determine whether he is ready to take on the NHL-calibre goalscorers. If a team is willing to put in the work to develop him, his skills would translate well, and he could be a backup in a few years.<\/p>\n Risk-Reward Analysis<\/p>\n Risk \u2013 4\/5, Reward \u2013 2\/5<\/p>\n Fantasy Hockey Potential<\/p>\n Goaltending \u2014 5\/10<\/p>\n Awards\/Achievements<\/p>\n 2025 World Junior A Challenge Bronze Medal<\/p>\n Interviews\/Links<\/p>\n Viggo Tamm Stats<\/p>\n iframe><\/p>\n Other Draft Profiles<\/p>\n Malhotra, Caleb<\/a> Videos<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a>
