Glad we took at least one D.

Played in the same org as Zibanejad, I see.

 

[Sens Mile]

Where is SteffeG when you need him?

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Another Sorensen buddy.

 

[Hale The Villain]

18 year old regular defenseman in the SEL, plays for Djurgarden (same team as Zibanejad)

Eliteprospect calls him a stay at home defenseman.

So far in his career has just turned 18-year-old Claesson fared pretty from bangs even though he had real bad luck last year.
Then he got surgery collarbone twice. Only after a foul in a HV-match and when the injury was healed, came the next blow in the same place, but now after a tackle during an international against the USA.
As memory, he has 47 stitches and an implanted metal plate attached with eight screws.
...

I want to be stable. The team should feel safe when I'm on the ice. I want to take a lot of body, to be a tough *******. Going on and be aggressive on the opponents in defending, that's it.

 

[birden]

Good pickup by Ottawa an defensive first player. He is a long term project.

 

[ULoveMe]

How was Kitchon still available? And why did we pass on him??

 

[Icelevel]

how come all the guys we're getting have had pretty significant surgeries or concussions already?

 

[gof]

Claesson had a really good season last year, and is probably going to be the 6th d-man in Djurgården this year. He's playing very mature, making some rookie mistakes sometimes, but nothing serious.

 

[huche]

So....

Alfie

Zibanejad
Silfverberg
Petersson
Sorensen
Claesson

I'm flying a Swedish pennant outside my house today!

It allows them to drop to our pick?

Actually, I have the same thing after falling off a bike. They do it when the clavicle is broken into more than two pieces, like this:

The guys who sew the names on the back of jerseys better stock up on the letter 'S'

+ does your plate in collarbone ever bother you???

+ does your plate in collarbone ever bother you???

Actually, I just got it last week, so I can't really say yet as i'm not supposed to move my arm much. I doesn't hurt or anything though.

 

[ZekeA]

Lexicon Devil good luck with it & I hope it never bothers you..........

Swedes running the show in OTT. RT @UffeBodin: Fredrik Claesson: "Mika told the Senators to draft me - and they did!" #NHLDraft #Sens

Much like Karlsson picking Petersson? Can't deny our 1st rounders have got guts. And for a one way type player with injury issues.... interesting.
