Hildeby was drafted 122nd overall by Toronto at the 2022 NHL entry draft last week. 

The twenty-year old was 3-2 with a .930 save percentage with Farjestads BK Karlstad of the Swedish Hockey League this past season.

Hildeby is an intriguing goaltender, who has shown flashes of potential in his young playing career in Sweden, and will be interesting to keep an eye on in the coming years.
