Prospect Info: William Strömgren 45th Overall (2021)

Lots to like there.
Not trying to justify anything, but big Euro dude trying to learn both the NA game and also growing into his size. Could be one we really like in a couple years.

But you & I said the same thing about Eetu Tuolla.....
I do feel better about Stromgren though

I'm also sad that E2 didn't pan out. I liked his style, and I always enjoyed his interviews.

I was never overly bullish on Eetu.
He got the hype from the one prospect camp where he was scoring a bunch.

Once you're out of the first 10 picks of the draft really, there's a lot of hoping haha.

Tuulola was built like a refrigerator. Skated like one too.

Stromgren moves much much better.

It’s his first year in NA. So I’m not surprised it took him a while to adjust. Next year he should be well adapted and I think we’ll know what he is next season. I expect him to be an important players for the Wranglers. My prediction is he’ll have a better career than Pelletier.

Hopefully, Pelletier is approaching Matthew Phillips territory

I mean the Caps Nick Backstrom has also been described like that as well (I believe Hartley mentioned that), but also said his mind works like a supercomputer too.

I thought he was more like Pulujarvi. Which for the pick we used... it was a perfectly fine gamble.

If memory serves, didn't Calgary want to move up to nab him?

Yeah. Poor RW options were brutal then. Both BPA and positional needs would have been great.

A Stromgren emergence into a middle six winger would be big for following a Dallas model

Will be interesting to see who of Strom/Pellet/Honzek stand out in training camp
I think you'd have to give Pelletier the upperhand here with the experience & the need for waivers

 

[Body Checker]

Might be something here. Some thoughts out there that scouting staff consider size too much however after watching first 3-4 games of playoffs and the physicality out there you can’t be sub six feet throughout your top 9.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Strömgren should play another year in the AHL. Pelletier is good to play on the fourth line a la Mangiapane to start his career

Scored a sick GWG/series ending goal last night. Split 2 Ds and beat the golie, an individual effort by Strommer.
