He looks alot more like Higgins than Hansen.
That's the comparison I was going to use earlier.

Good thing is that many of those players are developing. There's always a chance none of them will be NHLers but that's different from some of our past drafts where players stagnated after we selected them (and were busts pretty quickly).

I dunno, for the most part I defer to the professionals. I think the fact of the matter is that when we are talking about most picks, especially late round picks, you have got to go with the hockey people- you know the people who have a career in hockey all their lives.
I mean people who disagree with late round picks are doing what? Disagreeing with Bob Mckenzie's draft rating? That's essentially what it comes down to, and puts the world in very silly simple world where every prospect has a clear rating and every team must pick the "best" player on that "definitive" list. 99% of fans haven't even seen most mid to late round picks play, yet they are taking a temper tantrum because Bob's pick was overlooked for some obscure guy that they never heard of.
In the real world differences are so minute it is hard to pick, even for the best hockey people. When you factor in the fact that teams have certain needs and desires to draft for in the big picture, things get even more complicated.
Blast, I'm as bad as Botchford. Wishful thinking perhaps.
What would you say is his skill set...who would be someone comparable would you guys say??? Thanks! Don't follow our euro prospects nearly enough.
Awesome! Our next Nicklas Danielsson!
Besides being named Ludwig, his last name means Flowerbeach. I guess it is a name to make at least some posters here swoon.
Yes, but he is like an iron fist in a velvet glove. Ludwig means "famous warrior" (wiki et al)
so his full name in English means "Famous Warrior Flowerbeach."
Louis, Luigi, Lou, and Gino are English, French, and Italian names that are related etymologically to Ludwig, and also carry the meaning of Famous Warrior. Gino Odjick comes to mind, and of course there's a famous player named Lou who is fighting to be No. 1 in the net
Yeah, except this guy will actually play some hockey in N.America and is already 200+ lbs. I'm not sure if Danielsson has ever managed to best 175lbs.
His middle name is Rolf Tage.
Pretty ****ing cool name
Ludwig Rolf Tage Blomstrand
Nice to know that when his playing days are over, he'll have a promising career as a James Bond villain.
