Asplund joins what’s becoming a Swedish invasion on a Buffalo team that includes prospects Alex Nylander, Lawrence Pilut and Victor Olofsson.

The Sabres have an opportunity to add another Swede with the first pick in the NHL draft next month. Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin is considered the top prospect.
