CHL Import Draft

[David Suzuki]

Well, I can think of two names: Lars Volden (1992), but it is unlikely that they would bring in a 19 year old Euro goalie and he is already pretty well off developing in Finland, so in this sense the much likelier option would be their U18 NT goalie Steffen Soberg (1993).

I've heard Wildcats with interest in Soberg.

According to this article Norwegian defender Adrian Saxrud Danielsen may be playing for Drummondville in the QMJHL next year. Drummondville has already been in touch with his Norwegian club Storhamar and the player himself. He is under contract in Norway after signing a two year extension in April this year, but the club has said that if this is something he really wants and if its beneficial for his development they will not stand in his way.

Saxrud Danielsen is a big and strong defender who had his breaktrough season in the Norwegian Elite League this year. He is mainly a good defensive guy, but he has also been getting some power-play time this year.

Markus Granlund has signed a contract with HIFK, so he's probably out of consideration.

Any danish players? With recent success of Bödker and Jensen there might be someone that is picked up? Nicolai Meyer or someone else?

Is it possible that Grigorenko is coming over? With his type of play I dont know if its good for him to move over so soon.

I doubt he'll come over to the NHL any time in his career.

I haven't read anything about Meyer and Canada since before the 10/11 season where he didn't rule it out CHL as a possibility. That was before he signed with Malmö though. So it's not improporable that he goes the CHL way. But I think he'll stay in Sweden, since he has gotten quite comfortable there and he likes it there, he has said he wants to extend his contract beyond this season. If/when Meyer gets drafted, I could see a CHL drafting him with a low pick, just in case.

Mikhail Grigorenko is.

 

[Helsingin Jokerit]

Mikhail Grigorenko is.

If thats true, then I have to say that I think that is a huge mistake for Grigorenko.
