So the last time somebody dominated SHL playoffs even close to the way Vaxjo have this year was '14 Skelleftea. That team, to this point, provided NHL with 8 players who had played at least 1 NHL game since winning that year (Arvidsson, Bellemare, Melker Karlsson, Lindstrom, Sundqvist, Aho, Heed and Holloway (1 game)). 3 or 4 got the NHL deals but never got out of the AHL and came back to Europe.
That's more than half of the team taking a crack at the NHL with some of those guys becoming impact players in it.
So, my question is, probably aimed mostly at Swedish posters: who do you think can make the NHL from this Vaxjo team and what are their chances of success? I do understand this is much more of a veteran team and a lot of those guys didn't make it in the past but how about the others?
Pettersson is the obvious one but how about Martinsson, Rosen, Lundberg, maybe even Persson?
P.S. While writing this post and taking a deeper look I realized those teams are very different. But still, since I wrote all this, maybe people have some insights to share.
