24 mins for a forward sounds insane

Im glad its appreciated, I will keep em coming

Please do and Thank you (tack så mycket). I went to Sweden once and loved it. As part of a Men's hockey/vacation trip.

GAME WINNER!
I dont have the mental fortitude to give an analyze right now and was thinking that I would give a better report on him after the series is over.
But he just scored the game-winner in the 2nd longest playoff game in the swedish elite leagues playoffs history ever!! And Färjestad is up 3-2 in the series, game ended after 117 minutes.
Clutch! Was such a sick snipe, buzzing!

 

[PacificNWBruin]

Rooting for this kid! Big jump in production/stats wise, more then I expected. Hope he makes the jump next year and develops in Providence.

 

[Blowfish]

Any chance he joins Providence for the playoffs this year?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

He picked a great time to develop as an offensive threat with Boston having a need for RW's. Bruins did a great job here. Hoping he comes over soon.

Can he come this year BF?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Can he come this year BF?

I'm the wrong person to ask when it comes to this stuff. I would assume that once his season is over he could come if there's a mutual want + contract or ATO in place.

Wasn't there talk he wants to play in some tournament over there?

[ODAAT]

is he likely to jump to NA next year or is he obligated to stay in Sweden for another year?

Thx

ok great, thx, other than what I see/read/watch here, don`t know much about him but appears to be a kid to keep an eye on

 

[Alicat]

Can't wait to see him in Providence

 

[Ratty]

Amazing that the RW prospect cupboard appeared to be bare. Now we have Seny, Kuhlman and Steen, all young and eager to compete for a position of need on this team for next season.

 

[veganbruin]

Can’t wait to see what he does here in North America. I’ve heard he plays with some fire. I think that would be great.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Can't watch this , goodnight

 

[whitetape]

From my memories of the World Juniors, Steen=Kulhman. Fast, feisty, small. A useful bottom 6 forward.

Good night?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

From my memories of the World Juniors, Steen=Kulhman. Fast, feisty, small. A useful bottom 6 forward.

I'd like to think that with steen's offensive showing in the SHL this year he has more upside than a Kuhlman.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Good night?

looks like I made a good choice by turning it off, Sucks because I want the blue Jackets to win our game but now Im not so sure that will be good for the teams mojo

I thought I was in the game thread as well LOL

It's been noted you seem to lose focus on game nights...

The best scenario would be Bruins in OT.

I think that’s pretty accurate, but I’d say there’s some solid offensive upside in the NHL for Steen. Personally, I see him as a 3rd-line, JG Pageau-type of player. Not gonna blow the doors off, but 10G-15G and 20-25A is pretty realistic for him I’d say.
Really hoping he gets a fair shake at center before he inevitably plays at RW at some point.

The only thing I have to base it on is Dev Camp (and the fact that the SHL is not usually an offense heavy league and Steen is putting up good numbers), but I think Steen’s offensive upside is quite a bit higher than Kuhlman’s.

This year Steen is #1 in scoring for players 25 and under in the SHL. He’s also 6th in the SHL (under 25) for PIM’s and no other scorer is close (speaks to his grit).

In Camp he was probably the most skilled F there. Was an elite skater with sick hands. I think I already told the story about the “rope drill” where players had to chip the puck over the rope one side to the other (forward and backhand) while crossing over the rope.

He was the only prospect that completed several passes through the drill clean.

This.

Being a top young player in one of the two best leagues outside the NHL is legit. Our forward prospects aren’t really lighting it up this dude is a bright spot.

How much longer is the Swedish season?
