Most likely an elc so..don't think he canMy only question is are we overpaying this guy like Chia is prone to do?
What's everyone's guesses on floor and ceiling?
My pessimistic, management-hating, know-nothing-about-the-player FLOOR prediction: Philip Larsen
My hopeful, rose-coloured lens, overvaluing-in-hopes-of-striking-gold CEILING prediction: Torey Krug
If these guys would have engaged more we'd find quite the gem. Problem is these guys don't play hard a lot of the times.pretty much this. I expect he'll a little bit better than Philip Larsson. Maybe the same the Frenchman that just left.
in other words... meh.

I just love the story. It's like the Accountant in Chicago, but way better. Guy played hockey part-time a year ago and now has a NHL contract? Just amazing.He sounds more like a Brad Hunt than Larsen.
I'm pretty hopeful for him.
I'm always a huge fan of players on steep development curves. Guys like Scheifele or Johansen in their draft years, for example.
This guy was playing part-time in a league that's worse than basically the ECHL equivalent in Sweden last season and was the best defensemen on the best team in the league as well as one of the best defensemen in the entire league this season.
That's crazy.

Oh Chia can overpay even on an ELC
925K max plus bonuses. Guys like this should get very little. The worry is he signs him for max bonuses
Chia can’t be that stupid. Right?

If Persson gets max bonuses and is able to hit any Schedule B bonuses(examples being Calder finalist, Norris finalist, top 10 in goals, assists, ice time, etc.), Chia would look anything but stupid.
We should then be glad that it only cost an elc and full bonus and then be worried about our cap the next year when he will be worth real money.If Persson hits Schedule B bonuses than Chia will have found that RHS pp specialist with an ELC pickup. That's an absolute best case scenario for the Oilers.
He hasn’t traded Nugent-Hopkins/Nurse/Klefbom yet though!Chia: *folds hands behind head and leans back in his chair* “All done for the summer! Time to relax!”
Nuge is safe. His chemistry with McDavid at world's saves him imo. They are 1 and 2 on the team in points and Nuge leads the team in shots.He hasn’t traded Nugent-Hopkins/Nurse/Klefbom yet though!
