Prospect Info: Anton Lundell (2020, #12 overall), HIFK (Liiga) - signed ELC 6/7/2021

[Zub]

Liiga website? He's Lundell's RW per their info.
Any info on how Borgstrom looked in that game?

I could have sworn to god Borgstrom was centering the 2nd line when i looked at the pregame rosters.. Watched only a portion of the game myself so can't really say.

Lundell already has the Emotion Upgrade Pack! Impressive.

 

[Crossbar]

Is Haley still in the league? If so, I disagree with you

Just signed with Sens, they are going full blown Slapshot "toughest team in the Federal League"

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Summary of the video.
1 Absolutely horrible defence by Jukurit in Lundell's 1-0 goal.
2 6-0 goal should be easy save to any pro hockey goalie.
3 And of course 4 nice passes. What a show.

I love that Melnyk looked at Toronto's lineup and said, yeah, let's f*** them up.

Did the Barkov 2018 upgrade I see...

He may be his own new breed of cyborg.
AL-2020-#01

He's already great defensively. Offense is where he should be developing this season.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Borgstrom also with a goal (game is 3-1 so far).

Man best draft pick in Florida history. Legit star potential

Better than Barkov??? Huby? Don't think so.

If we weight by draft position, yes I’d argue he will be: when has our draft pick exploded like this before?

As a player, of course we can’t say it yet: I do think there is a chance that Lundell outshines those two actually

Ok, if you weight by draft position, yes it's very possible.

I don't agree with the last sentence though. Lundell would have to become a perennial Selke contender to even enter the conversation.

I love Lundell but there is no way in hell he’s better than barkov

completely feasible: he has shown massive improvement each year and this year has big offensively: I see a world where he comes on much faster in the NHL and peaks as the 90PT center Barky is. Is it guaranteed? Far from it and most likely he won’t, but I see an upper level in this kid that we haven’t had in a prospect since Ek

Barky has all the skills and tools but lacks the killer instinct AL15 has.

If Lundell hits a 70ish point ceiling then he is a massive steal from where he’s picked. He doesn’t have the hands of Barkov to do what he can do.

 

[Crossbar]

If it happens it will be with Huby's combined help most likely.

Well, Barkov is too nice so Lundell can definitely be better than him

Trocheck was a 3rd round pick

If lundell scores 96 points in a season we’re going to be a cup contender the next 10 years

Overall I'd say Kuba being a 8th rounder and spending time on the first pairing is probably the best 'weighted' pick we've had. Didn't pan out with us, but still our pick.
