I've read that he's not going to play in the Allsvenskan as he wants to keep his NCAA options open.
If he has a junior contract with SSK that wouldnt make him a professional in the eyes of NCAA or would it?

Well, what does a junior contract actually entail?If he has a junior contract with SSK that wouldnt make him a professional in the eyes of NCAA or would it?

I never understood the secrecy in all this. Maybe he just hasn't figured it out, and since he's probably not going to be a regular on the men's team it makes sense to keep all options open.
There have been rumors, yes. But the latest rumor is that his father, Michael Nylander, will sign with SSK in Allsvenskan to play with William. It looks like he will stay in Sweden afterall.

Would playing on a team with his father be his best hockey move?
Would be neat but not sure that it would be the best thing for his development.

Playing in SEL-2 would be a step up from SuperElit, but also a bit riskier I think with injuries and such I can imagen, puck-hogs are targeted...
Question; is the NCAA competitve enough for elite talent? Will it hold him back playing for a NCAA team or would it be a great way to get used to NA hockey?

Most Swedes picked high have not been very touted long before the draft but rise once the draft approaches.
Tell that to Filip Forsberg
Oh look. You found an exception. Good for you.
Reminds me of Patrick Kane, all offensive tools and flashiness combined with playmaking and some goalscoring but as Kane not at all interested in defense.

What he did at the Canada tournament becomes more impressive in hindsight with the news of him playing on a botched shoulder. Apparently the Swedish medical team messed up and he will miss some time with that now.
Too bad, because I know we were all excited to see what he could do with SSK.

I'm pretty sure I know where he got injured. Late in the Finland game he fell awkwardly into the boards and favored his arm/shoulder. Makes sense because he was much better at the start the tournamemt. Did they *really* mess up though or just let him play through it to win?
You're on to something, he will play with #88.
