Prospect Info: Adam Edström, C, 6th round, 161st overall, 2019

[Amazing Kreiderman]

First big guy we have had in a while who acts like one

Not bad for a soft Euro

 

[Stone97Ace]

I will hate him forever for costing me $50 with like 4 seconds left. Only maybe 3 Stanley Cup game winners in ONE series and then I'll consider my hate.

Bro, McKenzie Skapski cost me $5000

Nice debut but keep in mind Anaheim is just a high end AHL club these days . Was a good opportunity for him to get one in and he scored ! Hopefully he can keep progressing up for us and some day become a 4th line staple .

 

[NYRKing]

He did a great job even without the goal. There was one errand backhand pass but his skating and size are great. I mean freakish size in front of the net, it’s like Chara.

 

[Larrybiv]

KID PLAYED AN EXCELLENT 1ST GAME. Noticed a few very solid experienced NHL players make. He plays with any kind of grit, and just in SIZE alone, I'd keep him on the team. Lined up with his Hartford linemates was great for him, had to be more relaxed because of such. LOVED the exuberance by Cuylle with post game winning hugs and congrats. Everyone see that?

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Watch out Kreider, we got another hugger... Especially come playoffs... I can just imagine being a defender, scrambling to recover the zone, with a 7 foot monster barreling down on the forecheck... You know he's going to finish that hug so hard. Who do you think will be his Mika?I hope it's Kakko--seems fitting... It's the right time of year... Imagine if there was a postgame orgyat center ice? I mean, not like I would watch...

 

[McRanger92]

Edstrom plays how we’ve all been begging Kakko to play for 3 years

 

[Peltz]

It’s always nice to see a kid get his first goal. A great ending to last nights game

 

[eco's bones]

For a huge guy Edstrom skates really well. That showed up in preseason games. Rempe also was getting around pretty good but Edstrom's skating is smoother. The combination of size and skating I think will make him an easy fit on our team in the near future. He's also a pretty responsible defensive forward. Anaheim's not the greatest team and they've struggled a lot lately but it was a really good showing in his first NHL game.

Yeah. The best thing I can say about him is he doesn’t look 6’8”. He moves like a much more normally proportioned skater.

 

[bhamill]

Edstrom is not the guy to do it all on his own offensively, he’s complimentary. Think he may be one of those guys who does better at the NHL level where better linemates will make good use of what he contributes. Skates REALLY well for his size. Goes to the net and is like a total eclipse there, disrupts, creates space, decent passing/hands, battles on the boards. He’s got decent 3rd line upside IMO.

 

[Eye of Ra]

He was a m0nster in SHL

Hopefully he pans out. A gigant who actually hits and can play is always needed. There is another swede who is a giant like him, Elmer Söderblom

 

[Synergy27]

I would prefer this kid get some run over Bonino but I know that ain’t gonna happen. Maybe he’ll be a cheap option next season.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Our training camp next season is going to be a bloodbath for veteran depth. It's difficult to see Edstrom and Othmann being denied, and I'm not betting against Sykora either. Not to mention Berard, or some surprise kid has a great camp like Rempe did this year.

Next year's opening night roster:

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Trocheck-Lafrenière
Cuylle-Chytil-Othmann
Goodrow-Edström-Vesey
Brodzinski

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

You really typed that all out to make two additions.

I doubt Kakko will be on that team.

I certainly wouldn't pencil Edstrom into the lineup next year. He had a nice first NHL game but he's not exactly producing in the AHL. He has 4 5v5 points in 21 games.

There is a weird phenomenon in the NFL where the long snapper is active over the 6th WR. Seems like a similar situation here.

I'm not expecting him to produce much at the NHL level anyway, but I think he is capable of matching Goodrow/Bonino/Pitlick level 5v5 contributions right now, much less next season. Not as sure about the PK.

His game should translate very easily; he's still bigger than everybody else, and his skating looks close to average for the NHL. I bet a much higher percentage of his AHL offensive production makes it to the NHL than the average prospect.

This will also be true, likely, for someone like Rempe as well. These guys are scoring goals from in or around the net. Those goals often translate

Rempe is a non prospect and in all likelihood will never play an NHL game

Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko

Cuylle-Chytil-Othmann

He's cool I'm a fan but Brodzinski is better. Lol

 

[bhamill]

Rempe will play somewhere in the league if not as a 13th/situational forward here. Mark my words.
see also: Ross Johnston, Reaves, etc.
And if the 21 year old works on his D for the next couple of seasons could be a regular 4th liner.

Kakko gone at the deadline E5
