not the worst plan

Alfons.

 

[wings95]

Who? I am hoping he is a HA pick.

 

[Syckle78]

Well,I like his name.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

So Holland going after D so far in this draft, Pretty much thought he would.

Have been reading about this draft for months, and literally have never seen this name before today.

Was at least somewhat familiar with all of Cholowski, Smith, and Hronek.

I love these off the radar Hakan picks, though. Surprisingly good size for a Hakan pick? Kid is listed at 6'2" and 190 lbs.

Yep, I like the fact we are taking so many D. Don't really care who they are once Bean was taken off the board. Just load up on guys who have the potential to be offensive d-men and then just wait.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Best name we've drafted in years. He better pan out.

Gotta restock the Swedish mafia, yknow.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

8 points in 41 games in the J20 Superelit league is probably not a good sign for his offensive upside. Hrm.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Anybody find anything about this guy?

The Wings didn't have a third-round pick, but at 107th overall, they drafted 6-foot-2, 190-pound Swedish defenseman Alfons Malmstrom. Andersson called him “a Mattias Ekholm-type player, a big defensive defenseman. He's mobile. He's still growing and I think he's closing in on 6-foot-4. He played junior in Sweden and he was in camp with the men's team in April and the coach said he was our best defenseman.

“He was mean. He was blocking shots. He was doing everything you want to hear about a guy like that. So that's what we think we have there.â€

This guy went pretty early and he is completely unknown. He's a Hakan pick

I'm pretty sure this guy will play in the nhl

I love that we are more confident in guys we've never heard of because of Hakkan than any other late round fliers.

 

[Shoalzie]

Even though he's since been traded...who had Janmark on their radar? Hakan can find players.

 

[Uno Bench]

Your name ends whit strom, there's a good chance you will get drafted (by Detroit)

It's pretty hilarious

Hakan is a god

 

[KJoe88]

I wonder of he can develop into a better Ericsson?

 

[Pavels Dog]

He's a succesful draft pick if he becomes half as good as Ericsson, so a little early to talk about him being better.

Half as good as Ericsson wouldn't be good. So is it really successful?
