Prospect Info: 78th overall Marcus Hogberg (G) from Linkoping

[Herping Derps*]

Glad we took a flyer on a goalie.
There are enough forward and D prospects.
If he pans out, he'll be right in time for when Andy moves on.

 

[BrawlFan]

weak glove hand. Lets see how he develops but right now I dont like the glove hand part of his game.

 

[DJB]

Did this kid play for Sweden at the WJC? Am I reading that correctly?

 

[danishh]

i'm a big fan of drafting 1 goalie a year. Sign college guys to fill ahl/echl depth if no-one's ready, but a steady stream of goalie prospects is critical to ensure we never become a goalie graveyard again.

 

[Super Cake]

Imagine this duo in the future. Lehner as our starter and hodberg as our backup. What do you guys think about that. It could happen in the future.

 

[Qward]

We also have 2 good Canadian goalies in our system too.

 

[starling]

So that's fourth young goalie within 12 months. Okay.

 

[BonkTastic]

So is the 3rd round our "Goalie Round" now?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I like it. Can develop over the next 4-5 years in Sweden. Seems like the Swedes are the current kings of developing netminders.

Seems like there are always teams out there who need a netminder.

 

[MainDotC]

The next Alfie.

 

[Beville]

I like this, another big presence in net however hopefully he won't come over for 2/3/4 years!

 

[SanderSen]

Just made the minimum goalie height limit!

 

[dumbdick]

Interesting to note that 21 goalies were drafted and the #2 and #3 ranked european goalies aren't in there.

 

[Minister of Offence]

Release the Hog....berg..

 

[dumbdick]

Release the Hog....berg..

We'll have to give him a nice big redneck "soooeee!' call when he makes a big save in the tire.

 

[dumbdick]

If the sens aren't going to spend to the cap, elite goaltending is how we're going to get our cup.

I'm fine with throwing pick after pick at this position.

Did anyone see him in the pre-competition game against Canada today? Canada was shutout, not sure if that's any indication of how well Hogberg played!

Never really got tested. Obviously a shutout is always a good sign though, should be interesting to watch him throughout the tourney.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Yeah, Canada looked like garbage this morning. No match for the talent on Sweden's roster.

Kid does seem to position himself very well. Solid, quiet. Definitely in control of his crease.

 

[mat_sens]

He played a pretty sound game although didn't get tested too much. I would say he has a similar style to Jonas Enroth but wayyy bigger. He's already as big as Lehner.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Bump

Can any Linkoping fans comment on how he's been doing. i see his stats and other than his stats in Mora they seem to be good stats (again i dont know much about Swedish Hockey).

Welcome to the Sens Prospect Thread.

Hogberg = Lehner clone

Hogberg = Lehner clone

Don't think his brain has as many loose screws.

 

[Icelevel]

Like I was saying.
