Prospect Info: 2nd Round Daniel Torgersson, LW, Frolunda JR

[mazmin]

could be a monster addition to the lowry line

replace Lowry w. Gustafsson

Lowry will be 30 by the time Torgy’s ready. I hope Lowry is gone by then. He won’t age well.

I agree with this post strongly, and would have liked to have seen the Jets go after a big good skating defenseman for this 2nd round pick. I think you should draft to your weakness.

I almost agree with you - my take is that the "weight" of the weak position factor should increase as the draft goes on.

Yeah. Another goal scorer with size and determination. Sounds like he is unique to prior young "star players" in that he hustles and tries harder than opponents every shifts. He earns his goals and understands importance of outworking opponent and how to get to open areas unnoticed thus being a creative offensive playmaker with finish. Also a great shooters shot! And a strong, smooth, fast skater with size! Sounds like a win-win-win prospect. How did he not go in 1st round? An exceptionally talented, wide-spread draft group combined with him not playing in the most accessible, world scouted league or division in Sweden, maybe?
Glad we found and got him if he lives up to the evaluation of his skills to matching NHL level some day ( not too far off!).

I fancy him on a line with Gus at center and Ves on the RW side! Euro-terror line! Scandii-Dandies.

Can’t find too many videos on this guy.

anyone have one?

 

[untouchable21]

Remind you of anyone? Winger with shot, 'unique size' will be there for Flyers

Seems like the Flyers were targeting him with their 2nd round pick.

Promising Frölunda junior Daniel Torgersson (02nd, SHL-tested with good results) could have been a player for JVM this winter. Instead, he will have knee surgery (ligaments). Gone four to five months. Leading heavy for Daniel, also thins out the width of Frölunda. #twittpuck #frolundahc

Oof.

 

[surixon]

That sucks!

 

[theslatcher]

Looks like he's healthy now, invited to take part in the Sweden's U19 camp alongside the U18's.

Future RW for PLD?

Bump

Torgersson is playing RW on the 1st line for Sweden at the U20 summer showcase.

Here’s his assist today on a powerplay goal by Oskar Olausson vs USA Blue. Torgersson is #29:

Ah, Nikky6(milper) is already in that spot, just fine.
Maybe Torgy usurps the older Finnish version, KVes, and moves into LW with PLD and Nikky6.

Yikes, he dwarfs those kids

 

[Whileee]

Just a note that though he shoots L, I think Torgersson usually plays RW.

Yea. Wheels & Apples replacement.

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

Torgersson update?
how has he played in the under 20's?

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Gonna bump this. Dude looks good!

 

[lomiller1]

I see a little bit of James Neal in him. He seems to have a knack for finding space near the net and has the hands to do something when he gets there. He'll score goals in the NHL if he can continue to do this.

He also has the size and skating to be a good forechecker and his puck skills are good enough. His overall game still has a way to go, but I think he could turn into something that Jets 2.0 hasn't really had and could really use.

 

[ps241]

I haven’t seen him play this year due to being fricken busy as a Sherpa for my kids. Glad he is getting a bit of interest from some of our fan base.

I didn't pay too close attention to the game last night, but from what I saw, I really was impressed by Torgersson. I'm not really sure what his ceiling is going to be, but I'm eager for him to be able to make the big club one day.

He and manalainen were really intriguing to me. Would be so nice to have some size on the 4th like instead of tomato.

GumbyCan2, Thanks for getting eyes on this kid from the beginning..
(Are you employed as a scout?)
