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
We drafted a Swedish goalie last year too.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
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 factWe drafted a Swedish goalie last year too.
