[Lavar Ball]

Scored two goals as the 1C for Sweden today, I was quite impressed by him and the top line for the Swedes in general. One to monitor moving forward!

Good to see Elias' son do well!

 

[Frk It]

I knew he had a thread somewhere, almost created one for him.

Sick play here:

This guy will be ranked in the top 32 by the end of 23/24 season. Mark my words.

 

[erikhamren]

I think he's the best 06 swede after Zetterberg.. will play a crucial role in Hlinka Gretzky cup

Don't think Zetterberg is a top 3 forward from Sweden personally. He's just too small and not explosive enough.

Out of curiosity. Which players would you rank ahead of Zetterberg at the moment?

Agree, he will be taken first or second(to Zether) out of swedish players

I'm not even sure if I'd rank Zetterberg Top 10 in Swedish prospects to be completely honest

 

[hockeyprospects9]

I don’t think he’ll even be drafted (Zetterberg)

Pettersson however is one of my favorite Swedish prospects ahead of next years draft.

 

[Ohlle]

Lucas is the highest ranked Swedish player on NHL Central Scouting mid-season ranking. Not surprised, he has been great the times I have seen him in J20 and the national team this season.

Yeah I’m curious as well. He’s not lighting the U18’s on fire but is playing his part and seems to have a very projectable game. He’s almost universally viewed as a high-2nd rounder (at least as of midterm rankings) and yet there are a few opinions I trust that seem to rate him higher than that…he seems to be something of a sleeper prospect with a real chance of a 1st round evaluation and perhaps the best pro prospect forward (and maybe player overall) of a Swedish class that lacks a true high level star.
