C Isac Lundestrom - Lulea HF, SHL (2018, 23rd, ANA)

[ManUtdTobbe]

Floor - Carl Hagelin
Ceiling - Mikael Backlund

Does that seem fair?

Lower floor, Hagelin is an underrated player.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Could he be the Pettersson of the 2018 draft? Will a team in top 10 reach for him?

That would be silly, but i can see it happen.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Possibly similar to Hagelin with more style.

With less speed

 

[spring29]

Could be a steal

Minus like 50 points per season.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Minus like 50 points per season.

He got 15 points in SHL in draft season That's pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if he hits 35+ next season

He's probably a 30-40 point player per season in the NHL.

 

[hallonskal]

I think the Backlund comparsion as Lundströms ceiling is quite resonable, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a 35-45 point player with above average defense.

 

[bukwas]

Don't know what the odds are of Lundestrom being available when the Leafs pick but i hope they grab him if he is.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

Lundeström reminds me a lot of Jacob Josefson, I think he will end up as something similar.

Oh dear

Isac Lundestrom Scouting Report: 2018 NHL Draft #17

 

[bukwas]

Could be a steal

I like what i've seen. He doesn't have the flash to catch a lot of eyes but if you watch him it's hard not to appreciate his contribution.

 

[HaNotsri]

I’ve read a couple of interviews during the season where teammates praise his skill during practice as well as speed.
I’m obviously just guessing, but considering the overall defensive, responsible mindset of Luleå as a team. I believe Isac will score a lot more points next year as well as showing us some moves.
During WJC he was assigned with the defensive heavy lifting as well.

 

[bukwas]

Has Lundestrom been mentioned as being on any teams radar?
He's consistently ranked in the bottom half of the 1st but otherwise hardly a peep. Almost eerily quiet.

Potential faller?

He's not particularly skilled offensively, so that's likely why he's not talked about much. A safe player. Almost guaranteed 3C NHL potential. I think he goes pretty much where everyone ranks him. in that 16-24ish range

Welcome to Anaheim!

 

[heynowbababooey]

Another Swede for Anaheim

 

[Exit Dose]

Welcome to Anaheim.

I really like what I've seen. Sweden has really treated this team well over the last few years.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Sounds like a solid pick. I trust Madden, especially when it comes to Swedes.

 

[Kipper933]

Ironic he ended up in ANA as he reminds me of Cogliano. A safe pick, likely NHLer.

I wouldn’t say that. I used to hate on Lundestrom a lot but he has untapped offense imo. He can really skate the puck and create plays, I wouldn’t put an exact guess on how many points I think he’ll get yearly just yet.

Watching him/reading about him... he sounds a lot like Rakell when he got drafted... obviously rakell took time to develop and didn't produce offensively till he got on the wing... but I could see lundestrum being a lot better player then his draft position.

I don't think he has much skill. Good skater, smart player, can pass the puck, but I don't see significant offensive upside. I'd guess 30-40 point player.

Perhaps, but Rakkel was hardly lighting up scoresheets of wowing with skill at Lundestroms age.
