Is there a decent chance of him getting some time in the SHL this year?

No U18 Goalie has ever been an SHL regular so probably not. He could get a few games if lucky, but probably will not. Rögle do not have great goalies so there is a small chance if he continues his stellar play.

I don't know about that.

Wallstedt is probably a bit better right now but I don't think Clang is very far off.

Clang is possibly more consistent I would say, he never has a bad game unlike Wallstedt. Wallstedt has the ability to completely steal a game with a shoutout or amazing performance though, and when he is on his game, he is unplayable.

Much higher end prospect than he's getting credit for. No major issues in his game and has that ability to stand on his head to win games.

He looks decent, has the 5th best S% in the SHL this year (ahead of him is his partner in Rogle, so it probably has much to do with the team, but still...)
Excited to have him, looks like it's at least one more year in the SHL, which goes well with our timeline (Gibby sounds to be out in short or mid-term, Dostal will need some time, and then we can give Clang and Alexander (our other prospect) a fight for #1 Gulls goalie.

My guess, 2 more years in the SHL, then AHL
