Prospect Info: Canucks draft D Viktor Persson (7th Round, 191st Overall) (Brynäs junior team ---> Kamloops Blazers)

[VanJack]

Canucks Army reports that Persson has been called up to the SHL. It looks like there's a chance he won't come over to the WHL (should the W get its season going).

We finally have some good news about 2020 Canucks 7th round pick Viktor Persson

As a 7th round draft pick, if he's good enough to stick in the SHL, then is that's a huge bonus. Nothing against Kamloops and the Dub, but playing pro hockey in his home country will be a lot better for his overall development.

Guess not. Persson's short call up to Brynas has ended (only dressed for 1/7 games) as he's been loaned to Stromsbro IF of the HockeyEttan.

Persson picked up an assist in his HockeyEttan debut this morning.

Fill us in on HockeyEttan (yes I'm too lazy to Google).

It's the little known 3rd Swedish 'pro' league. Think of it as the Swedish ECHL. A lot of J20 Nationell league players (like Persson) have been loaned to HockeyEttan due to the J20 being shutdown due to Covid concerns. If all goes well Persson could play up to 17 more games this season (excluding playoffs).

Way better than Google.

Thanks! I'll add that info to the Prospects thread.

Picked up another assist today for Strombro (HockeyEttan), after being dressed for Brynas (SHL) yesterday, but not getting any ice time.

It's the league Edler was draft out of, I believe.

Correct. The league was simply known as Division 1 until 2014 at which point it was renamed to the HockeyEttan.

Persson's goal from yesterday

Wow!....nothing against the rush and goal which was a beauty, but the defense basically parted like the Red Sea....The Ettan doesn't look like much of a league to me, but I guess he's at least playing competitive hockey right now --which puts him in a better place than a lot of Canuck prospects.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Persson missed yesterdays game in the HockeyEttan for today's callup to Brynas (I assume Brynas didn't want him playing 3 games in 3 days), but through 1 period today, it's looking like he'll be a bench warmer once again.

*edit* - Didn't get a shift.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Picked up the primary assist on the game winning goal in OT this morning. Now has 1G 4A 5Pts in 5Gp in HockeyEttan.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Got 1:22TOI this morning for Brynas.

 

[Lindgren]

Got 1:22TOI this morning for Brynas.

Now that's promising.

Edit: I read it as 12:22. Not so ... promising.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Was pointless in his two games for Strömsbro (HockeyEttan) this week (Strömsbro only managed 3 goals over the two games played). Will be interesting to see if he plays for Strömsbro (Sunday), or Brynäs (Saturday) this weekend.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Picked up an assist on the OT winner this morning, breaking his 5 game pointless streak.
