Rumor: Flames and Senators pursuing fwd Joakim Nygard of Farjestad BK in Swedish Hockey League

[HaNotsri]

I’m sure teammate Wikstrand can tell him all about Senators...

 

[theslatcher]

Backlund, Lindholm, Andersson, Fantenburg, Kylington and quite a few more in the AHL. 5 is relatively high, there might be a few teams with more or close to the same amount

How many of them are regulars though? Backlund, Lindholm, & Andersson?

Right now it looks like Buffalo will be the most Swedish team next season with Dahlin, Olofsson, Nylander, Pilut, Larsson(?), & Ullmark as regulars.

 

[Rubi]

If he wants a roster spot right away he should look a bit north of Calgary...

Most likely he'd instantly become our best natural winger.

Fantenberg and Kylington are more "regular" than Nylander

Never said Nylander was a regular, did I?

Edit: And by the way, Olofsson is even less of a regular right now.

I dont know....I just quoted this below. Sound to me like you are questioning Fantenberg and Kylington while claiming Nylander as a regular (next year)

So? and I am saying Fantenberg and Kylington are just as "regular" as Nylander

Yeah but what's your point, then?

You are asking if Fantenberg and Kylington are regular and I am saying they are more regular than Nylander....

 

[theslatcher]

And they're more regular than Carl Grundström, & Erik Brännström too...?

 

[DFF]

Is Nylander the same as Austin Matthews?


BTW, Kylington is better than A Nylander. You can take that to the bank

Ducks have Lindholm, Rakell, Silf and Larsson and Lundestrom coming up. Traded Pettersson

That's why I believe ottawa will be a prime destination for middle six UFAs this summer on short term deals.

I don't think there's that many open spots...

Tierney
Tkachuk
Ryan
White
Boedker
Smith
Duclair
Balcers
Pageau

Ufas:
paajarvi
gibbons
Lindberg

Prospects pushing:
Batherson
Veronneau
Paul
Chlapik
Formenton
Brown
Abramov
Norris

You'd think a ufa will be back and at least 2 prospects will make the jump.

Good list. I think Boedker and Smith are most at risk of being moved at the draft along with Ottawa taking some form of cap dump for picks or to move up in the draft. Paajarvi has been a good soldier and with time on the third line has shown some production so I could see him and Gibbons sticking around at 1 million each for 1 year or 2 at the most. Batherson has killed it in the ahl and deserves to start in the nhl next year. Brown has done well, but would like to see him do it in the ahl for another half season for his confidence. The most interesting prospect is Paul, he has been exceptional as of late. Not sure if that is a confidence or playing with high end players issue, if it is a high end partner issue it might be difficult for him to succeed in the nhl on a 3rd or 4th line and he could be trade bait.

Other than that leave the prospects in the ahl until they are dominating.

If Ottawa does something to pick up some veterans in the summer, I think it will be with an eye on trading them at the trade deadline for picks. I don’t see Ottawa spending picks on veterans that they will have to expose to Seattle.

I have no idea what this has to do with anything. Even if he is; your point is?

+ Hakan Loob in the org. That's and ace hiding up Calgary's sleeve when it comes to Swedes I bet.

With Loob's connection to Färjestad, that might be a more compelling argument for Calgary than the number of Swedish players on the roster.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

AHL player

 

[greasysnapper]

There is plenty of room for UFA's with that lineup man.

There's no way Nygard would crack the Sens. Joakim Lindstrom and Derek Roy have looked better than him, and that's saying something.

 

[untouchable21]

Any word on him signing anytime soon?

He's still in the playoffs, down 1-2 in the semis.

Wikstrand has said he regrets how he handled the situation, as he should. He was a kid in a tough situation but he dealt with it very poorly. I would be surprised if he has much negative to say about the Sens

His latest quotes were about Sens management calling him a ”mommas boy” for going home to be with his brother and how they broke their promise to loan him back to Sweden.
