[TheDaysOf 04]

From BP:

Scouting Comments:
"Tall, lean, & quiet in net. Took Sweden to U-18 title."
-- Red Line Report

Strengths:
Excellent size and athleticism with calm movement. Makes himself big and allows lots of pucks to hit him.

Weaknesses:
Timing is an issue as he has a tendency to go down too early. Rebound control is non-existent at this early part of his career.

Projection:
Project goaltender can develop into a solid NHL backup who can spot start when pressed into service

It just occurred to me we drafted a Swede.....that like never happens. Take your time on this kid. We're gonna need a backup in a couple of years. I'd be okay with him staying in Sweden for a little while like Vasy did in Russia. Then get him to Syracuse. Hope to see him in Tampa in a few years

We drafted a Swedish goalie last year too.

 

[These Are The Days]

We drafted a Swedish goalie last year too.

Yeah I do remember that. I meant to make a comment and for some reason forgot about it. The more the better in my opinion, Sweden is #2 in my book for best hockey players. May Hedman and Stralman be all the proof we ever need of that fact

[BeingTheThunder]

I will refer to him as Hugo Stiglitz... every German soldier has heard of HUGO STIGLITZ!!

 

[Steazy Doo]

How do you pronounce his last name

I guess ill just not be lazy and figure it out myself

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Sweden vs Russia in the U-18 gold medal game

 

[LightningStrikes]

Seems like a nice kid

 

[DFC]

So this is part of the Miller deal, right?

 

[pckstpr31]

He's really solid, so calm. I find you never really notice a goalie's blocker hand, but watching him I was struck by how many times it was obvious how good he is at directing pucks into corners with his blocker. Definitely interested to track his progress and see how he turns out.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

So this is part of the Miller deal, right?

Yes.

 

[theslatcher]

He'll start his first SHL game tomorrow.

 

[Todd1a]

Hopefully this kid turns out to be good and is on the team 4 years from now

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

He looked really, really good in Development Camp. Have high hopes for him.

 

[theslatcher]

He was so close to getting his first shutout in his first game, 31 seconds away from it. Got his W after a shootout.

 

[Killerjas]

Screencap this: He will be one of the best goalies drafted in 2019. Top 3 goalie hands down.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Made a cracking save yesterday

 

[Zwui21]

The kid looks very good. His SHL stats are amazing (8 GP, 1.95 GAA, .920 SV%) . When you consider he's a 18 y/o rookie his stats get even more impressive.

 

[Prntscrn]

They mentioned on the broadcast today that he was one of the best golfers for his age in Sweden before he decided to put all of his focus on hockey. Guess he was drafted by the right team

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

He's been good so far. 01 born, so he can return next year aswell.

 

[Hoek]

Might as well stick that beaut here for those not watching the WJC thread.
