C Linus Eriksson - Djurgårdens IF J18, J18 Region (2024 Draft)

[MMC]

This Swedish center was just added to the Top Prospects section of EP for the 2024 draft and I didn't find a thread for him. Can someone tell me more about him?

[PuckPoise]

Very smart two-way center, forming a super duo with Victor Eklund, brother of William.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Strong U18 torunament wih 7 points. 4th in tournament scoring,

Eriksson was outstanding against Södertälje, wonder if he's played himself to a permanent roster spot now.

And he has potted his first Allsvenskan goal off a nice shot.

Will center Djurgården's top line today.

4 goals in 6 games in the HockeyAllsvenskan playoffs. Really liking his play this season and he is making a good case of being selected much higher than various rankings have him at. May not have many stand-out-skills other than hockey sense, but he does everything well IMO.

"Unfortunately", he will likely miss the U18 WJC since his team is headed for the finals.

I get the sense that Rosén is willing to wait it out, even if they’ll miss a couple games.
