But I don't speak Swiss.

Me neither. But then I clicked on the post and went to the twitter page, hit the google chrome translate option, and it looks like it says he signed a one year deal with Leksands for next season.

I see he took a big jump in production last year, finishing second on the team in goals & points. I don't know anything else about him as a prospect, though, and if he's considered legit or not.

He is legit. He's fast but not small - he's 6'2" and goes into traffic areas in the SHL. There is a nice player there to see what they have.

And I think the person you quoted was trying to be funny.

I was. But it hasn't been working out well for me lately. I think I'm gonna go back to lurking for a while.

Like, right after this post.

Leksand, Blergh
Really hoped he'd go to a good team. Likely to turn out at least an AHL/NHL tweener

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

So nobody wants to play for Rochester next season apparently.

Deadline to sign with the Sabres is mid july I think. New agreement could stipulate that he should be loaned to the SHL instead of rochester however

 

[elchud]

Sign him next spring like they did with Weissbach and Rousek last year.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Anyone know if he is at camp? I don't see his name on the development camp roster and haven't heard anything about him since he signed.

He's not at camp. When asked why he wasn't there, Adams said a few guys were having visa issues, and he kind of lumped them in with the Russians but didn't elaborate.

Cederqvist has really jumped out to me these last few weeks with the prospects challenge and tonight's game. I guess he sticks out because I really didn't know anything about him or kept a close eye on him when he was playing in Sweden but the kid has legit potential. He's big, good skater, good net front presents and doesn't mind getting physical. Hes been a huge surprise to me. Cant wait to see what he does in Rochester next year.

It's almost like we have 20 2nd and 3rd rounders performing well in the system. Cederqvist is a 5th, Kozak 7th round, Weissbach 7th, Rousek 6th, Novikov 6th..
Lots of guys (E: every player) from 2021 performing well and an early good looking 2022 as well

I think it stands out more because he was playing in the SHL which isn't really known for its physical play. Sweden produces a ton of great players, but I think most people (or maybe it's just me) generally associate them with a lot of skill but not a ton of grit. Dahlin and now Cederqvist seem to be bucking that trend which is awesome.

It's weird, since gritty Swedish guys are definitely a thing and have been for a while. Few are those who just get by on skill alone any longer, that's an old, old stereotype.

Look what happens when you invest in the right kind of scouting department. I suspect GMs are going to take notice and it will be tough to keep this group together.

Also, hats off to KA, who seems to have found the sweet spot of getting often competing scouting approaches to find a middle ground with one another and come to agreement (analytics, live viewing, references from amateur personnel like coaches).

Its nuts to think that Cederqvist, Rousek and Weissbach were late Botts draft picks but no doubt Adams and company have done a great job properly developing these guys.

I think it comes from the fact that they just don't fight? Swedes have always seemed tough to me...they just culturally seem to focus on the glame play more.

Angry Moose:

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

The moose is loose! Love everything about this goal. Hits his man into the boards which allowed the 2-0 and finished it off with a nice shot!

Really think he can be a 4th liner in the NHL

 

[Chainshot]

Hat trick tonight, net front on the PP, rumbling around and played well.

Goal 1 tonight -



Goal 2 on the deflection -



Goal 3 with the hit on Knazko is above.

 

[Chainshot]

The hit (2nd half of the snippet shows the facing camera angle):

The original angle kinda looked like the guy lost his balance but this angle shows Cederqvist crushed him!
