The "experts" in North America like Bobby Mac are comparing Dahlin stylistically to Erik Karlsson, I wonder how long it'll take them to realize that this kid is actually the one who plays more like EK
Will be interesting to see where he plays next season. Don't think they have a spot open for an offensive D-man like Boqvist on Brynäs senior team and I believe he's going to be too good for J20. Will most likely start in J20 and later be loaned to Allsvenskan where a lot of teams could use a player like him.
Does anyone know what Brynäs' defence looks like for the upcoming season, and could he take a spot there? Him joining London sounds pretty exciting, but I haven't really thought it through.
Considering they waited until the 2nd to take him, my guess is they aren't expecting him to report. Good longshot pick though. They also have 2 imports already. I guess Kuokkannen could be in the AHL next year and Juolevi could be in the show.Drafted by London in the import draft

Finished the regular season with a 4 assist game against Frölunda J20. That makes him the top scoring D-man in the J20 Superelit Top 10 division with 13 pts in 14 games, pretty darn good for a 16 year old.

Offensive D from Sweden - "could be the next Erik Karlsson"
Solid two-way D from Sweden : "The next Lidstrom"
Wondering if he can make the swedish WJC team.
Likely one of Liljegren, Brännström or Dahlin would have to get injured for that to happen. He'd also have to play lights out in the SHL or (more likely) Allsvenskan.
Watched the U18 vs. U17 game today. Boqvist did pretty much what he wanted to all game, old schoolers are going to vomit when they see him play though

I think he'll run into the same issue he did with this years U-18 team, which is even if he makes it, he probably does as a 7th D-man with limited ice time and used mostly on the PP. Gotta think the offensively inclined roles are most likely going to Dahlin, Liljegren and Brannstrom. Granted, an injury or a disappointing start by one of them could open the door.Yeah, considering he is an offensive D on a team with a lot of good offensive D already it's probably tough. But I think I'd rather have Boqvist than a guy like Westerlund or Moverare.
I watched that game too, he was excellent. So much fun to watch.
Westerlund is solid. You need a player like that on your team. Not a good idea to stack up on off dYeah, considering he is an offensive D on a team with a lot of good offensive D already it's probably tough. But I think I'd rather have Boqvist than a guy like Westerlund or Moverare.

Meh. I for one hopes that "defensive d" is a dying breed. Imagine if a teams D corps played cray cray attack hockey instead of playing "safe", the hockey would be awesome
