Felix Unger Sörum - 2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profile - The Hockey Writers NHL Prospects Latest News, Analysis & More

Felix Unger Sörum is a playmaking winger who has an incredibly mature defensive game for a teenaged winger.

i dont know anything about him but he sounds very hurricanes esque. Comp: fast?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I hate this pick. No way will Dundon be able to afjord to sign him.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Looks like he's the youngest player in the draft. Missed 24 eligibility by a couple of days. Seems to have had his role grow as the year went on and had a good U-18 tourney. Also made his SHL debut at a young age this year.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Shocked they passed on Heidt or the other dudes who have fallen. Edstrom too.

 

[Unsustainable]

Hope hes hUngery

 

[sheriff bart]

Is there an Oscar Madison available?

He’s a really neat player

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Seems Aho-y? Size, play style, youngster in his draft, flew under radar until international tournaments, etc.?

 

[AD Skinner]

His name is really Felix Unger? That’s… odd

 

[Unsustainable]

His name is really Felix Unger? That’s… odd

For a couple of reasons

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

85th ranked player in the EliteProspects Guide

Despite really strong production at the J20 level and even appearing in a chunk of games in the SHL, Felix Unger Sörum seemingly flew a bit under the radar. That was until the U18s where he was one of Sweden’s best forwards and the primary playmaker on a supremely effective first line. Unger Sörum’s calling card is his passing. He’s a crafty small-area distributor and responsible for some of the most creative feeds of the season. He was also consistently manipulative, both as a playmaker and handler. He keeps the defenders guessing through his movement and body language, then evades their sticks with smart slip and hook passes. His playmaking also pops off in transition; nobody made more cross-lane plays in transition among draft-eligible forwards at the J20 level this season. The question is whether his offensive skill and playmaking are truly high-end enough considering he’s not the fleetest of foot and far from being physically imposing. There are occasional flashes of skating skill – mostly through crossovers or cutbacks – but his stride lacks ankle flexion and separation between his lower and upper-body. Players with his profile don’t usually have the easiest time adjusting to North America. There are reasons to believe Unger Sörum could potentially buck that trend, though. One selling point is that he’s one of the youngest players in the draft; he would’ve been a 2024 eligible had he been born just two days later. This should give him more developmental leeway compared to the vast majority of his peers. Unger Sörum is one of the more skilled options a team could potentially pick in the middle rounds, although he could go off the board even earlier after his performance at the U18s.

Really was hoping for Heidt here, but will defer to the experts and hope he pans out.

Should we project him as a Jesper Fast type of player?
