Gus Lindström injured a shoulder in an exhibition game today. Could miss some time(short term mainly the SWE U20 going to Finland next week). Will have an MRI tomorrow.

Here's highlights from Malmö J20's pre-season game. Setkov is #3 in white, scored a goal and three assists (I think) in a 6-2 win. He was on ice for most goals:

That's an encouraging game! Nice. He looked very comfortable with the puck. He might have more offense than the narrative would suggest.

Was not anything serious. Day-to-day if he was an NHLer. Could still miss that U20 camp though.

Mike McKee and James de Haas both officially become UFAs today.

de Haas signed an AHL deal with Lehigh Valley.

Interesting that he would sign there with Philly's defensive log jam. I'm also surprised he only got an AHL deal, he seemed to improve every year at Clarkson and you would think he's got decent enough potential to get a shot at the NHL somewhere down the road. Best of luck to him

Prospect tournament roster. I'm surprised the other teams agreed to let Detroit put 24 year-olds on their team. Seems like the only rule now is they can't be NHL regulars.

Isaac Johnson was ranked 69th by Future Considerations and was top 100 by Central Scouting among NA skaters.

I suspect that they are more concerned about professional experience than pure age. All of these organizations have NCAA guys hitting the pro ranks after 3 or 4 years of school and older Euros ready to try their hand at NA pro hockey. Also, you need to take a certain number of older guys simply because the NCAA and younger European draft picks are unavailable for the tournament.

He will be playing with Ras next year in the WHL. He is a pretty good player but needs to improve his feet a good deal.

Former Red Wings-prospect Hampus Melen back from 4-year battle with twar, try-out with Tingsryd in Allsvenskan (tier-2).

32 points in 25 games with division 2 team Morrum (tier-4) last season.

The Twar bacterium attacks the trachea and lungs and helps to produce the huge amount of mucus that flooded Hampus Melén's lungs.

Although the symptoms would not bring along, Hampus Melén continued to play ice hockey. He made eleven matches with Tingsryd in the 2013/14 season before the body said completely. In October he was so weak that he could not leave the bed.

"I was so focused on playing hockey and doing good on the ice that I did not realize my own best. In the end, I was so bad that I could not go to school. I missed the final year at high school and could not play hockey at all, says Hampus Melén, who weighed 60 kilos after the illness made him bedside.

- At worst, 80 percent of my lungs were filled with mucus. So I only had 20 percent lung capacity. I lay in bed and was constantly tired. It was hard to walk down the stairs to jaw. Struggling more than normal did not work. The body did not get the oxygen it needed.

The first turn came when Hampus dad called Gunde Svan. The legendary cross-country skier is the most famous Swedish person who has been hit by Twar. He put the Melén family in contact with a specialist in Örebro. To get rid of the mucus, Hampus put on a mask and breathed in a mischievous vapor twice a day. The bacteria in the mucus risked to infect him with the disease again and again if it was not removed from the lungs.

"I got a lot of medication and got better quite quickly, but I had to go to the penicillin for 600 days to keep it in check.

Fascinating. I always wondered about the nature of his injury.

I hope they sign Castleman. Its like a free 2018 pick.

We've also only drafted 6 forwards (one from EU) the last 2 drafts.

I know Wings fans were concerned of Gilmour size. Here is the latest from Saginaw Spirit website. Still on the smaller size, but 15 lbs heavier and an inch taller over the summer.

Size is far less of a concern with Gilmour than skating is.

Size is far less of a concern with Gilmour than skating is.

And the obvious, he's a 7th round pick. No expectations

Setkov will make his debut with the Malmö senior team tomorrow in a pre-season game vs Karlskrona.

http://www.malmoredhawks.com/artikel/lpe8aj793-33nad/tv-malte-setkov-infor-a-lagsdebuten

I think he will probably get at least a few games during the season also. Should have a big role with the U20 team.

Malmö coach comments:
"He has shown that he can handle our practices in a good way, so it will be fun to see him play."
"He is quite mature in his game, and calm and safe with the puck, also has good positioning. He seems to be stable in his body, too, for his size."
"He's "game-skilled" (no idea what an accurate translation is). And as I said, calm and safe with the puck. That's his strength. I hope and think he can become a good d-man also with the puck in the future."

Intriguing to hear Adams is super fast. Still a long shot, but I'm starting to see the appeal.

JVP has started the season with 2 wins for Davos, 3 goals allowed on 75 shots. Splitting games equally with their other goalie so far.

My guy Joren on the come up!!!

OHL Regular Season started last night with a few of our prospects in action. Sambrook and the Erie Otters were in Peterborough to take on Zach Gallant, Cole Fraser and the Petes. Erie won the game 5-2. Brady Gilmour and the Spirit played in Windsor losing 3-1.

Jordan Sambrook - 0+1, +1, 2SOG, 2PIM in the win

Zach Gallant - 1+0, +1, 1SOG, 14/17 in the face-off dot.

Cole Fraser - No points, +2, 1SOG.

Brady Gilmour - No Points, -1, 3SOG, 2PIM, 7/18 on faceoffs.

Why isn’t Smith playing for Guelph? He was sent back like a week ago, right?
