Prospect Info: Devils Prospects Playing Abroad

[StevenToddIves]

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we could share video clips and information about the Devils prospects currently playing overseas. I'll start.

Jesper Boqvist is currently on loan to Timra of Allsvenskan. He's currently totaled a goal and 4 assists in 5 games. Though this is respectable, you'd like to see him dominate a bit. Allsvenskan is a lesser Swedish league, and it's pretty soft in my opinion. I'd put it on the level with the ECHL, though the lack of physicality makes it easier to play in. Of course, it's just 5 games, so I'm not concerned.

Here's Jesper's first goal of the year:

I'm all for it, but I thought we already had a fixed topic for this. Or is there a conceptual difference?

Yeah I feel like it makes sense to post in the 2020-21 NCAA, CHL, OHL and European prospects thread generally

Ok, that's cool. We can lock this thread and continue there.

dont know if thats a good thing. I got offered a tryout by a team in that league years ago out of men’s league hockey. Lol.

I’d rather have a "one stop shop" thread where I can see what’s going on with every prospect we have instead of roaming around 4 different threads... but that’s just me.

No no no, you are misinterpreting the thread. Think Sean Connery on SNL Celebrity Jeopardy and go back and reread the thread title. It will make more sense then and not overlap with the main prospects thread.

Allsvenskan is a lesser Swedish league, and it's pretty soft in my opinion.

Physically soft, but it's a good second tier league (one of the best in europe, along with VHL). Every year only about 15 guys go ppg, so ppg pace is not bad at all for a young guy. It's really what you expect from Boqvist, if you believe he'll be a top3-top6 guy in the NHL in the next few years, he probably should be putting closer to 1.5ppg. But it's really guys like Jonathan Dahlen who make it seem like a lesser league. That guy is just possessed, no one is doing what he is doing. I think the Sharks have a really good prospect in him. Allsvenskan has some good teams and players, remember that two of their teams were just recently SHL teams (before the last relegations). The problem is the skill/compete level is very uneven.
