Very young for last year's draft, but still with good numbers. This year, better numbers, overager now. Moves well, super aggressive defensively cutting off rushes and stealing pucks. Smart playmaking and breakouts. Still physically hasn't developed enough, and needs to balance his aggression with some more traditional defensive practices. Still, I like him as an overage pick this year. I'd pick him 4+ round.

Got this goal in SHL preseason. Also went undrafted again. Will be interesting if he makes the SHL team. He had some good international games before this as well. His defending is still a work in progress, but I think there's still a lot of potential.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Been great so far this season in Allsvenskan. 8 points in 14 games.

 

[Kcoyote3]

After a great year in the Allsvenskan he’s been recalled to HV71. Just scored in today’s game and since the recall he has 4 points in 6 games in the SHL. There is skill here, but lots of things to work on.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Has averaged just under 16 minutes of ice time in the SHL for lowly HV71 after showing playmaking potential in Alsvenskan.

Worth a shot in his third year of draft eligibility?
