Prospect Info: Simon Lundmark, RD (2nd round, 51st overall)

[Hockeyfrilla]

Might get invited to Team Sweden for the summer tournament (next month) because of injuries.

I was hoping for Kokkonen or Honka here, but I don't mind the pick. He's been decent offensively in the past, limited ice time meant limited production in the men's league.

 

[JetsFan815]

He had the best Corsi on his SHL team, although he probably played sheltered minutes. The only other Swedish D that played in the SHL this draft year was Soderstrom drafted by the Coyotes 11th overall and Lundmark compares favorably to him. Also compared him to other d-men who played in the SHL in their draft year in the last 3 years and he looks pretty good in comparison to all those guys:

Although again probably should be taken with a grain of salt as we don't know what the deployment of these players was like but positive nonetheless

Both mildly encouraging posts which is positive.

Thanks boys.

I hadn't really thought of the Lundqvist comparison, I remember some being very high on him.

They scored extremely similarly in their draft seasons as well, liking this pick a little more for sure.

IMO he’s a player who is still a bit of an unknown. The tools seem to be there but the results may not be. For a CHL player tools but no results is a bad combination, but results are sometimes difficult to evaluate for players in tough leagues or easy leagues as was the case for Samberg couple of years ago. This makes for a pick with more risk, but potentially more upside as well.

He has better physical tools than some of the other kids that were available in that range, but yeah. The production was a bit puzzling.

Personally, I give him credit for being able to hold a role in a men's league. I'm hopeful that more ice time means more points. He isn't a black hole like Cederholm.

 

[truck]

Oops.

 

[John Agar]

But how does he compare against Logan Stanley.... ?

 

[mondo3]

If his agent is Overhardt, then it seem like we're not learning from our mistakes.

Seems like Chevy isn't learning from his mistakes with or without Overhardt.

Talk about jumping to conclusions

 

[snowkiddin]

First time embedding something on here, so please forgive me if I did it wrong, but looks like the Jets signed Lundmark.

 

[Rheged]

Do they dress 8 defense in the SHL? Both seasons he's been playing ~10 minutes a game.

7 usually.

 

[Romang67]

Do they dress 8 defense in the SHL? Both seasons he's been playing ~10 minutes a game.

Looks like they're dressing 20 people, yeah.

Still, really odd that he played so little with those kinds of numbers. I haven't seen him play at all, but his numbers seem disproportionate to his playing time. He had two months where he played like 5 minutes per game fairly often.

Might as well get him over here to see how he plays in the A and makes sure he can develop.

He's generally played 3rd pair, without special teams, I think.

On the bright side, his 5v5 points/60 is healthy.

He has spent a lot of the season as the 7th defenseman, but was on the 2nd pair a lot more than he was the 3rd.

 

[surixon]

Glad to see him signed. I think with more usage on the Moose we will get a better picture as to what he is.

I think he has a good set of smarts, skill and physical attributes.

They went 7D all year. Lundmark started the season playing 2nd pair but went down to 7th for a good while. The extra usually only gets a couple minutes per game.

 

[Jimmyjets]

If he spent most of the year as the 7th Dman good reason to get him out of there and over to the AHL where we can control his development more. He's the 2nd highest drafted RHD we've had since the Jets came back, only behind Trouba and I feel like our scouts have done a really good job these last few years identifying Dmen.

Excited to see what he may become but need to see him in NA soon.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Lundmark is an Overhardt client. Prepping for a trade, maybe?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Interesting timing

 

[Romang67]

Interesting timing

Apparently Linköping is having some major financial issues, so it wouldn't surprise me if that played a role.

 

[kanadalainen]

Interesting timing

Care to expand?
