Prospect Info: LD Filip Nordberg (2022, 64th Overall)

[Sensatauro]

With Patience we will grow to like this pick I think. He seems to have a hunger that's needed to win. Feels like he is willing and wanting to work to make it happen and not just rely on his natural abilities. Thats a trait that'sunreachable. Sneaky good pick here in the making, imo.

Does this guy ever crush anyone?

Do you ever have anything positive to contribute or say? No? Ok cool. Do tell me how terrible he is cause he isn't trying to crush cans for you

 

[Cosmix]

I know nothing about him but I promise to always treasure him

You better! Cause you know what will happen if you don't!

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

You just know that this guy gonna have a lot of hype in WJC 2 years from now.

 

[topshelf15]

A big defenseman that can skate....This kinda the type of risk I like the team to take,if we can develop him into something then its a win....If its a bust try again

Sorry … are you suggesting I can’t ask about the physicality of a player ? Are you suggesting I can’t question if he has a weakness ?

And sorry … I know nothing about crushing cans… I was asking if he ever hits anyone (hard) with his frame.

Yes … that does appear to be what you mean. Welcome to the board and congrats on post 2 and 3. I look forward to hearing your opinion on hockey when you decide to share it.

You have figured out parts of this board very quickly if these are your first few posts.

Reminds me of Benjamin Roger!

It’s easy to say someone is stupid … it’s harder to back it up with something concrete other than your emotions and personal views.

This is the special place where 4000/4004 people thought the EK trade was terrible and the majority think they’re smarter than our GM.

Any updates on this guy? Was he eligible for the last WJ and wasn’t good enough to make it ?

Not too young for WJ, Petterson is the same age and was on Team Sweden.

He's been eligible for the WJ tournament since 2020-21.

OK i should have said he's only 18 and their were more experienced older players than him he will get his chance next year.

That's true, but there were only 3 D out of 7 older than him on the team, 4 guys his age or younger on the D.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

a little Nordberg news

Team Sweden doesn't seem to think much of him. Didn't even garner an invite to their summer camp I believe.

 

[Ouroboros]

Very strange situation. Why would Nordberg want to play in the USHL? That's a pretty big step down from playing pro hockey in Sweden, and it's not like he's eligible to play NCAA hockey next season or something.

It made sense at the beginning of the year, where he seemed to be heading seeing he opted into the USHL draft and was taken fairly high, he was talking with the teams in the league obviously.

Now it makes zero sense. If he's coming over to NA, the CHL makes a ton more sense, though he hasn't been selected in the import draft yet and can't join a team for another season. .

Just wants to start adapting to NA style hockey? Could he go to the AHL? probably not quite ready for that yet?

 

[Hale The Villain]

The only thing I could think of for why this would happen is if Nordberg was about to be sent back to the J20 and the Sens prefer to have him playing in the USHL.

Still against kids but at least it'd be on NA ice.

That's the thing, it's not USHL for a year or two, then off to NCAA for a year or two.

It's, USHL, then AHL/NHL/Back to Europe. He's definitely not ready for the AHL. Nothing wrong with a 19 year old season in the USHL, but those are usually with the intent of getting ready for NCAA.

Doesn't make much sense.

Can’t he play CHL next year?

 

[BondraTime]

Can’t he play CHL next year?

He could, but then he’d have to find somewhere to play. He wasn’t selected by any team in any of the past 2 import drafts, and most teams will be drafting 17-18 year olds. He will find a team somewhere if he wants to go that route.

He went out of his way to be selected into the USHL last year. That indicates a NCAA route. Then he played pro games this year, which eliminates that.

It seems as though he’s had 2/3 changes of plans and direction over the past 10 months, as he’d have been selected in the import draft if he showed any plans of taking that route.

Didn’t the article say that he was promoted for the purpose of the team holding his rights getting better compensation for him leaving?
