Daniel Fernholm was a defenseman great size and reach, which made him effective around the crease and in puck battles. A fairly well-rounded player, he had a good first pass and decent mobility for his mammoth frame.
Unfortunately, Fernholm's career was cut short due to head trauma caused by a Johan Forsberg hit in 2014.
