Don’t know anything about the guy but the highlight reel ESPN selected for him was better than most of the other guys (except Kent Johnson)

 

[Dirty Dog]

Cool!

 

[allsilverdreams]

WTF

 

[BG82]

Dont love it, dont hate it

I'm ok passing on Wally, UPL will be our future.

Best Swede at the U18 over Lysell, Edvinsson, etc.

Great speed. Transition player with great puck skills. Lethal shot and good playmaking ability too.

Seriously needs to put on muscle and is held back by that but confident he can be a top-6 winger regardless.

Not my top choice, but I like that pick a lot still.

 

[Club]

Like it a lot personally

 

[BananaSquad]

Cool , will be rooting for the kid! Speed and skilled can’t hate it.

 

[DapperCam]

Seems like a high risk high reward type pick.

 

[Kublakhan]

Blaaa.. Would rather have Risto

 

[Dirty Dog]

Yea we need high end forward talent on this team. Can’t complain with a high ceiling speed player

 

[Sabre Dance]

I'll come back to this thread and check him out in 3 years.

 

[threeVo]

f***ing love It. We don’t have anyone like this in the system. Could be a home run if he hits his potential. Devine loves Sweden lol

I like taking a swing on some high skill here

Same. Dynamic speed and the ability to create for others at a high pace? They don't have this sort of skillset really anywhere in the prospect pool.

 

[EichHart]

How is his skating?

[The Blunder Years]

The SHL is a weird place for prospects. Kid got no ice time this year like any young player in the league. I’m really curious what the plan is here. I would imagine let him play in Sweden next year then reevaluate if he’s ready to get time on the Amerks.
