Love this pick. I've watched him play for the past few years. Strong skater and very offensively gifted.

...ok, I'm lying. I have no idea who he is.

[Billy Kvcmu]

Someone is excited

Huge steal. Had him in my top 5

I'm not so sure about this pick. He's not big and doesn't fit into the mould of Dmen we have been picking (smooth skating Dmen who can transition the puck well). The scouting reports I have read of him so far suggest he is inconsistent in many aspects of his game. He's not considered a good defender (passive even) or have a high hockey IQ. Seems like average tools with questionable toolbox to me. Completely different impression than the one I had of Persson when we picked him.

Can you tell us a bit more about him?

Backhands the puck like Crosby. Has the hockey IQ and playmaking of Wayne Gretzky, skating not that great think of like Jake Virtanen. Played defence against men in Sweden and was more productive than Lidstrom was at his age. Surprised he drop so low

Side note but he was apparently Evidssons partner. I think the Canucks were targeting Evidsson and had a scout camped out there to watch every game

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or its legit haha.

I also know nothing about him so can't make an opinion.

 

[Raistlin]

Had him in my top 85, I noticed him when scouting Edvinsson. Has good upside, really good pick for where canucks got him.

Wow. Crosby’s back hand, Gretzy’s hockey IQ and playmaking, and more productive than Lidstrom? How is his forehand and how does he defend?

1970-2020 0 Hugo's drafted. 0 stanley cups.

He is smaller but scored at a much higher rate than Evidsson with many more PIM's as well. I have never seen him play but he must have been on the pp ahead of the 6th overall pick. That is something.

Apparently he said his favourite Canuck is Loui Eriksson.

He grew up watching Loui Eriksson.

He grew up watching Loui Eriksson.

Can't blame him he was like 12 when Loui started doing all this
