Fair question. I like Henriksson a lot so I’m biased lol. I think he could be a great support center if he can translate though. Rangers have tons of talented wingers and Henriksson played with Raymond and Holtz a lot. Both very skilled obviously.
Henriksson is intriguing because if he was 2 inches taller and 15 pounds heavier, it probably makes him a little easier to project.
But when you start getting into that 5'9, 180 range, without blazing speed, or higher-end offensive ability, the hill starts to get a little steeper.
That was the difference for guys like Doug Weight and Marc Savard --- neither was a speedster, but they had damn near elite offensive IQs. Weight also had a bit of heft to him.
Maybe a Yanni Gourde type? Maybe even a time frame that isn't too far off of Gourde's?
Henriksson is hard for me. I see attributes there, and they're good. I just don't know how they all come together yet as a North American pro.
