Prospect Info: 64th Overall, Mattias Norlinder LD

[Habs Halifax]

There are some that are 30-40 years long. Hopefully this one does too

This tree has big roots and it's healthy

How about Patrick Roy trade

That tree was big, strong, and healthy until a hurricane came along

Norlinder is that type that has all the tools you look for but is also that type that needs to learn how to be reliable and play physical in his own end. A lot struggle in that area and that will drive coaches nuts. Lets hope he is in good hands with Frolunda HC. Big age 20 season for him in his first SHL season. He has high value as a young kid in Sweden and he had options on where he would play which indicates there are a lot of eyes on him.

I think he'll learn that in Frölunda. Modo is a really fun team to watch. They encourage offensive creativity and daring play in their players. They play firewagon hockey. Probably the closest thing that I've seen to ''total'' hockey, actually.

Nice. Norlinder is in good hand then. I had that hunch but not sure

Frolunda playing a preseason game today. Still to see if Norlinder will play.

Norlinder in the line-up on the 3rd pair (#6):



I think Frolunda is also playing at 1PM.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

interesting that they put him at RD.

hopefully Dichow plays today, as I should be able to watch the game which starts at 1 pm. Will post a stream.

He played there quite a bit with Modo, with his skating he can play on his weak side and switch around pretty seamlessly.

yea I got to see a decent amount of him especially as the season went on so almost all the games he was at RD and didn't look out of place at all. I can't wait for the SHL season to start, I think I'm more excited to see him then any other Hab prospect as this kid could be the real deal and seeing him in the SHL will give us more a idea what we have as long as he gets regular TOI, which I assume he will.

He may be my number 1 prospect interest wise right now, there's still so much intrigue about his maximum ceiling. How much better can he really get ? I'll definitely be keeping a close eye.

Norlinder will be on PP1 today.. and each pairing gets equal ice time, so he's not really on the 3rd pair.

 

[WeThreeKings]

PP1 in today's exhibition.

Hopefully I'll get a report from a friend who is a Frolunda fan in Sweden.

#FrolundaHCvsHV71(2ndPeriod)

Norlinder is more intense on his coverages than before. He's not letting his opponents have any space.

• Norlinder sticker ut ordentligt.

Which means Norlinder is standing out.

I thought it was someone bought a sticker of Norlinder.

Yes live

Am I allowed to put some screenshot? (analyzing)

sure

Norlinder was in on that goal, he jumped into the play, don't know if he gets an assist though as I don't know who knocked it in

 

[montreal]

off the center ice face-off on the goal, Norlinder takes a header, could have been costly

it's 1-1 near the end of the 2nd. Damn I wish I knew it was on sooner, as I didn't see it listed as being on when i checked earlier. still cool to see a prospect play live hockey.

That sounds like Svenglish to me. I have never heard that expression before. I am not saying that a language can't change in 20 years so it might be a part of the language today. The best translation for standing out imo is probably "stiger fram (stepping forward) or utmärker sig"

Think my friend translated it to "Noticeable"

D man to winger, winger to front of the net, and some whacks.

Don't think he'll get an assist.

Norlinder is #6
