That'd give the Fog Devils a pretty good Swedish duo of Bergfors & Sundh.

Petes1 said:Any information on Fredrik Naslund or Marek Lapin would be great, thanks.
Näslund is a huge winger with plenty of offensive potential. Näslund has fine technical skills, he has a good scoring touch and although he is far from being the perfect skater he is tough to stop when he reaches full speed with his large frame.
At 6’4, 210, Naslund has the all the makings of an imposing winger. He has a lot of potential and decent overall skill. He is not the greatest of skaters, but can get the job done when needed. He does a good protecting the puck, has good hands and somewhat of a scoring touch.
Like many players who grow very rapidly at a young age, Lapin is still getting used to handling his massive frame on the ice. He has good size, but could improve on his strength and uses his body well, while staying away from the penalty box. At 6'6" he has a tremendous reach with his stick. Lapin also posseses a good vision of the game, he is a thinker and usually makes the right, safe decision. He has decent speed for a man his size but with increased technical training can become a very good skater, as well as working on his acceleration. Lapin's biggest weapon is his monster shot, although he hasn't had many opportunities to let it go, as he plays a very defensive defenceman role in Trencin.
No. It has nothing to do with that. The teams gets in touch with the players during the ongoing-season and then in May its all settled which team who will pick them. So the order in the draft isn´t that important and as you can see - players like Frolik were picked very late.Riddarn said:Finally, Edler gets picked. Last in the first round, maybe because he's unsure whether if he wants to come over or not?
Really good and skilled. He is not that big - but plays big and slams players into the board. Great along the boards - great speed, technique, tough and skater, intensive game and a really hard slapper. Is one of the most talented forwards in Sweden born 87.Roughneck said:How good is this guy?
montreal said:London gets the younger Kostitsyn, nice pickup.
Kopitar goes to the Pats, 1st pick in the 2nd round.
He doesn't have skills for NHL.Camden said:Does Lapin get drafted this year ... this kid definately has great size, and the fact he is willing to come over to North America, must please NHL teams.
Doomsday Device said:Some nice future first rounders drafted in Skokan, Tlusty, and Marcinko. It'd be nice if they all come over.
Cariboux said:I think it's something like 90% sure that Skokan is coming over. The guy already had a deal with Rimouski. On a local newspaper, it's said that he's suspended to the 6th of december because he battles a ref ! He can't play here until his suspension is over but it's garantee that he will be at the camp.
For Frolik, they said that it would be surprising that he cames here this year, but they pick him to maybe have him in 2006.
DLMDLM said:Any info or sites for Siarhei Kastsitsyn or Karel Kubat.
In the london paper today Dale Hunter said he shouldn't have too much trouble bringing over Kastsitsyn because of his brother. Who knows if he's blowing smoke or not.
montreal said:I would think the same thing, that he would make the jump to London as it hopefully will be good for both of them since London isn't that far from Hamilton.
As for what kind of player Siarhei is, I have only seen him play once. He's on the small side but has good speed, works hard and while he doesn't have the offensive skills his brother has he still has a good base of offensive skills from the looks of it. More of a setup man then a shooter from what I've heard.
The Great One said:From what I've heard...you're really right.I've also seen him play in teh U-20's, he's small but seems to have good skills.He was also throwing his body, he seems to be physical...
DLM DLM, you're right, his bro' will influence his choice alot.Andrei is know a little bit more comfortable while talking about N.A.I'm sure, Siarhei will play for London.
DLMDLM said:Thanks to both of you for your insight. If I've got this right he is not as skilled or nearly as big as his brother but was a good pick and should be a good addition to a more then competitive knights team next year? anything on Kubat?
La-La-Laprise said:His suspension carries over? You sure? The CHL has no link to the Czech junior leagues as far as honouring their suspensions.
After watching clip one, you can tell he's got tons of skills, but that he's a greedy little *******.VINMONTY said:Those who were looking for info on this guy can look at this website.

He was on a travel team that comes to the States and plays prep/ junior teams.
Was the leadig scorer on the team.
Skokan has no link to Czech junior leagues. I've heart that suspension carries over. I think this is because Marty McSorley case when he tried to play in Britain and he was not allowed.La-La-Laprise said:His suspension carries over? You sure?
