Costmar is a skilled forward with some offensive upside. His skating needs improvement, but he has a good shot and some nice hands. Costmar scored 13 goals in the SuperElit league this season and won U18 Gold with Sweden. He’s listed at 5’11” and 181 lbs.

Costmar always keeps his feet moving and works hard to try to help his team generate offense – Future Considerations
His defensive game is mostly cutting off passing lanes and picking up loose pucks, which he does effectively – HockeyProspect.com
