I haven't watched Fagemo much. How would you compare him to Toffoli when he was playing for the Kings?
,or is there a better comparison?
Toffoli, to me, had better instincts and adapted his style of play to even help the team shorthanded even in juniors. And Toffoli had better hands in tight.
I think he's a less physically engaged Kaliyev with a worse shot technique.
Though that may sound worse than intended. I'm a huge fan of Kaliyev, but I think his confidence is at an all-time low. Kaliyev's variety of shots, when he is on, are very hard to track and can be tough to handle.
I think the biggest quality Fagemo has compared to Kaliyev is his resilience. He's had some disappointments. From being passed over in his first year of draft eligibility to being waived twice, and he has always come back stronger in spite of those setbacks. This is my biggest hope for Fagemo continuing to grow.
There have been comparisons to Frk, which I get. I still think Frk had better technique with his shot though.
That's just me though. I know I've been less high on him than others, so maybe someone who's a bigger fan could give a better comp.
