Prospect Info: #167 G Filip Larsson, Djurgårdens IF U20

[waltdetroit]

Bummer... Heck of a shot for UMass... 24 Saves on 28 Shots for Larsson

Now we wait and see if Larsson turns pro... I don't think he will, but we'll see

IMO Easily our most important prospect in the system... We need that Big-Time Young Goalie Prospect to pan out, hopefully it's him

Kevin Allen in a HockeyBuzz podcast says word around the league is that the DRW's will sign Larsson soon

edit: oops it was a red & white authority podcast

I don't see the Wings signing him yet. JHowww is still signed for another season and Grand Rapids is very full at the moment. Let Larsson dominate a full season in the NCAA first.

He already has dominated at the NCAA level. He has nothing to prove there.

Or let him go to GR, learn the pro game, and get ready to possibly jump to Detroit in two years.

 

[Roy S]

There’s nothing left for him to do in NCAA. He should go to Grand Rapids at this point.

I think GR is about to have a backup spot next season.

 

[FireBird71]

I’d be fine if the Griffins had 2 new goalies next season

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

I think GR is about to have a backup spot next season.

The kid played all of 22 games this year. I don't want him in GR next year unless he gets the majority of the work.

 

[WesNichols14]

If he plays as good in GR as he did this year at Denver he will get plenty of starts. They are a goalie away from another title in my mind.

Loaned to Vaxjo in the SHL after having 0 minutes for Farjestad.

He’s been playing for HV 71

Eliteprospects says he only was backup

 

[Henkka]

Eliteprospects says he only was backup

Yeah, he has been only backup in those two SHL loans (corona problem also there?, like Finland has, players missing).

But he has been playing at Swedish 2nd level for HV71.

 

[Oddbob]

I think his chances of being a Wing are basically over. Not even in the top Swedish league and will be 24 in the summer.

His contract ends this season. I don't see any reason why we would extend it. Such a shame, he was so good in the USHL and the NCAA. One shit season in the AHL and it was over...

No......one devastating injury and your career asperations are over.

 

[ridilon]

No......one devastating injury and your career asperations are over.

Yeah, his groin tear ended his career for good. Still playing in Swedish juniors is an accomplishment for him.

 

[Killerjas]

No......one devastating injury and your career asperations are over.

Yeah and that aswell, cant believe I forgot that...
