[Eye of Ra]

Ready for WJC?

Ready for WJC?

No, not close.

Ready for WJC?

No, but should be a lock for U18 if he keeps this up.

So, where does this kid stand in regards to recently hyped Swedes at the same age? I know Willy was in Allsvenskan for a cameo (with decent success at a similar age). Anyone else cracked this high a level early in there 16 year old season recently?

Rasmus Andersson played as a 15 year old in Allsvenskan. Kylington was up pretty early in the SHL as well.

Burakovsky had a couple of games in Allsvenskan in his u17 year aswell.

Adam Larsson played almost the entire season in his draft -1 year and scored 18(?) points. I think Hedman played a full season.

They are both born late. So it was their U18 season, not u17.

He scored a goal today against Södertälje.

2 goals in 3 games.....in Allsvenskan.

And he has looked great in all 3 games.

He has that mature gritty style.....he is the next Landeskog.

If he can play this good with men, then why not 4th line role in WJC.

Bratt - Karlström - Nylander
Dahlen - Pettersson - Lööke
Steen - Asplund - Eriksson Ek
Grundström - Wernblom - L.Andersson
J.Davidsson

 

[VictorLustig]

Starts every game with a hit.

 

[fredligh]

His playing style reminds me of a honey badger, relentless in all situations.

 

[Zaddy]

This kid could be something special. Hope he isn't done growing height wise.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Two questions.

1. How tall is he?

2. Can someone who knows about the Swedish prospects for the 2018 draft rank them?

1. Listed as 5'9, doesn't look like he's done growing though.

2. Not easy to rank them at this point, but for me Rasmus Dahlin is clearly first. Adam Boqvist is then clearly second and after that it becomes harder. Wernblom, Filip Johansson and Filip HÃ¥llander have all been very impressive to start this season.

If this is the case, it will be a very good draft year for Swedish prospects.

Think Rasmus Sandin and Isac Lundeström deserves to be mentioned in the same group aswell.

How does someone look when is not done growing? He is 16 YO, so there is of course a chance he will grow, his father is listed at 184 cm / strong 6' , i think he will end up somewhere between 178-180 cm same height as Crosby, Giroux, Kane etc. He will be fine (and 90% of the listed NHL heights is over exaggerated or rounded up). anything close to 5'11 will be listed as 6'

On the ice he looks like 175 cm~ so the listed height seems up to date.

If you watch, how is Lundeström doing in the SHL?

Strong Ivan Hlinka tournament. Still don't like his footspeed for a small guy. Could see him being a divisive prospect for this draft with some people having him very high, and some very low.

 

[Foppa]

Mini Landeskog? Lovely thought but does that play in the NHL? Full-size Landeskog has enough issues with nagging injuries because of his physical nature. Plus Landeskog was NHL ready in terms of skating right out the gate.

Is he bigger now though than the older reports in this thread?

 

[Zaddy]

A goal from last week:


Still not producing that well. Pointless through 18 allsvenskan games and 10 points in 14 SuperElit games is decent but a small guy like him needs to do better.

I wonder if he gets drafted, I can't say I'm a fan. Doesn't seem like his game has improved much from last year, if at all.

He was not one of the top players in this weekend's Team18 Elitcamp unfortunately. Other players look more interesting right now in the -00 group like Breggren, Höglander(2019), Hållander and Olofsson to mention a few. But still long time to the Draft.
