Not sure what the interest in Wikstrand is - he'll never see serious NHL time.

I asked Steffe G on Twitter what's his upside, according to him he could be a top 4 puck moving PP guy, but still got long way to go, that was his answer.

Main - he is the guy that completes the 2nd pairing to ease the pressure on Karlsson, once he gets here. Wiercioch has that potential, but he has not been given a consistent chance. Ceci has a different upside I think.

Cowen, Claesson, Gryba, Borowiecki, Methot, Phillips are not finesse guys.

Our D in two year, if Murray allows it to grow, will be amazing with three movers and five shakers. Karlsson can be the baker!

Ceci, Karlsson, Claesson, Wikstrand, Cowen, Methot, Wiercioch, Borowiecki, Gryba

Mix and match as it may turn out. But leave them learn from each other and that's a good group.

Can you look into tomorrow's lottery numbers for me?

I think wikstrand will have a long development journey..but at the end of it I think he will be a pretty solid players. apparently his skating isn't very good, that is definitely magnified on the big ice...I think he will take well to the smaller ice surface, not as much distance to close

It makes sense. There isn't much competition on that left D side in Bingo. Lots of opportunity there.

No it isn't true, I'm guessing this info comes from the SensTV vid posted last week

He says he'll play in Sweden next year and come over the year after, yeah person who posted that should have paid better attention
