Hawryluk spent last season with the Vancouver Canucks. In 30 games, he scored two goals and recorded five points. He primarily was a depth forward for them and did what was expected from him for the most part. 

Hawryluk was originally drafted by the Florida Panthers with the 32nd pick of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He never was able to cement himself a permanent spot in the league, as he primarily was a fringe-NHLer. Now at 25 years old, he is ready to take the next step of his professional hockey career.

In 98 career NHL games, Hawryluk had 12 goals, 15 assists and 27 points. Perhaps if he performs very well in Sweden, he may be able to find himself back in the NHL. We will have to wait and see.
