So this is what y'all referring to when you say Frolunda really likes to activate their defense, hehe.

After @SwedeChristoffer 's post I feel better about Frolunda's development and usage of defenseman. Still worried about the forwards, though.

Seems legit. What method did you use?

I first tried some analytical methods mostly involving integrating their games played from t1 to t2 corresponding to the start and end date of their seasons. Unfortunately, this didnt work - there was no integral for this problem in the lookup table from my sports science textbook. I had to settle for a numerical approximation using a solver in matlab. Initially there were stability issues, however, it was only a small problem so i was able discretize it very finely with marginal computational strain. This enabled a highly accurate answers with very little residual error!

he can carry the puck like a son of a gun . he can skate and defend all 200' like a son of a gun . those features on a 6'4'' hard body are extremely valuable and make him an excellent , at minimum , 2nd pair dman . but just like since day one im not impressed with his thinking when has the puck = tunnel vision / panic syndrome weaknesses . every minute of his practices should be focused on handling the puck in his own end . over and over / practice after practice the same thing . with a speaker in his helmet and nick lidstrom talking into that speaker . then when he sleeps a recording of what nick said playing in his house . his thought patterns have to be reconstructed !

If this kid is legit and so is Seider we might be back! I can't f***ing wait until we are competing for cups again!

Diving in even deeper, this comes to a total of 31 games.
31 total games vs men last year.

These advanced metrics are getting crazy.

So if I have read this right, Edvinsson will be a 31 minute a night defender for 31 games a season?

Anybody seen other recent updates on the kid?

He is getting talked about a lot in the Swedish Prospect Thread.

It must have been earlier then. The last few pages are about Elmer, with a sprinkling of Rasmussen, Veleno, Zadina, and even Cleary.

If and when the kid shows that he can think the game and pass the puck like that in the NHL...

That's yet another level of help at both ends of the ice.

That's a great idea, I love it.

Would be even better if Nick would come back to the US and replace Houda.

His skating, vision and passing is absurd for a guy his size. Like he's not a burner but he has complete control and his passing into the danger areas and his stretch passes are something we haven't seen in Detroit in quite a while. Stevie and Hakan got themselves another steal. Seider and Edvinsson are both going to be dominant defenders, all we need now is a #1 center which are of course tough to come by but I trust Stevie and Hakan. They will return us to greatness.

Any updates on his injury today? Doesn't look good.

He said he was a little dizzy but otherwise okay.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

He better be ok! We need him!

Sounds like he'll be okay, Just got his bell rung with that high shoulder hit to his head area.

If Voracek survived Kronwall…
