C Isac Lundestrom - Lulea HF, SHL (2018, 23rd, ANA)

[hallonskal]

Isac scored his first goal of the season today, a lucky bounce on his skate but he has played really well lately so it was just a matter of time before he'd score.

6p in 12 games, pretty good. Already at the same pointtotal as last year in shl.

 

[APVJ]

He's gonna get drafted in top 10.

 

[hallonskal]

Another assist for Isac tonight, on the GWG in overtime. Which also meant that he broke his old point record in SHL, in just 13 games (7 points). The start of his season has been very impressive.

He's gonna get drafted in top 10.

He very well could be, although a better draft this year i think that Lundeström is a better prospect than Lias Andersson. Think there's a lot more offensive potential in Isac that Lias just doesn't have.
He's still at ~13 for me.

Yep, and i actually thought he started a bit slow at the very first few games of the year. He's been very impressive.

Neither of them will become big time scorers but I definitely like Andersson's upside more. Lundeström is more of a 2nd rounder in my mind.

I agree with that both won't be big time scorers but it would have to take a huge decline in play for Isac to be a 2nd rounder at this point. He's been amazing for Luleå, even though Luleå is bad.
But hey, agree to disagree.

 

[Frk It]

His PPG isn’t too far off what Lias Anderson did in his draft year (.41 PPG vs .45 PPG)

Think he will go in the 1st round?

Easily. He'll likely go somewhere from 5 to 15.

Yeah he's a consensus first rounder at this point

 

[lakai17]

Kids getting snoozed on. He has great wheels and an incredible hockey i.q.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not a big fan of this player. Low level of skill and not producing all that well. Maybe a late first, maybe an early second. I think I have him ranked second among Lulea first-year draft eligibles.

 

[Lion Hound]

I would be shocked if he didn't go in the first round. Thinking 14-21

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

I don't think he's a top 20 player, not skilled enough. Low shot generation and his rate stats in general are kinda bad (in comparison to his draft ranking)

 

[JK2K]

Late birthday
Last year 45 games 3 goals

Sorry about your luck

Maybe a little higher ceiling. He has a lot of traits in him that could translate to the nhl level nicely. Wouldn't go as far to say backstrom, but maybe a little better of a player than Nylander is right now is the ceiling. Maybe even a lower floor, although I'm pretty confident this kid will be a long-time nhler.

I cannot imagine that happening. Nylander and Bäckström were way, way more skilled than Lundeström at the same age. Lundeström reminds me a lot of Jacob Josefson, I think he will end up as something similar.

 

[Frk It]

Seems to be a pretty huge variance in opinion on this kid. Article from earlier this year on NHL.com talked alot about how he is creative and skilled. Many on here seem to think the opposite. Not really sure what to think?

Creative Lundestrom building first-round resume for 2018 NHL Draft

 

[BKarchitect]

Very polarizing prospect. I think everybody agrees on the high floor relative to a checking line NHL player being a high floor for all but the highest first round picks but after that there’s a huge gap in projecting his upside.

Very curious to see where he goes and if NHL scouts are having the same arguments or if there’s pretty much a consensus on the type of player he can be. Seems more SHL fans than not think he’s a low-ceiling player a bit lacking in real high end skill but even then there’s some disagreement.

Lol Frk literally posting the same thing right as I did

I'm saying its his ceiling, not what he's guaranteed to be. The best he can possibly be is a player a little better than nylander is right now.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Could he be the Pettersson of the 2018 draft? Will a team in top 10 reach for him?

Possibly similar to Hagelin with more style.
