Prospect Info: Gustav Possler (2013, 130th) ‎– '16-17: DjurgÃ¥rdens IF #80 (SWE-1)

[NotABadPeriod]

If I am not mistaken cant players be drafted from europe by the CHL in their import draft? thus all that really matter is if a CHL team owns his rights which would prevent him from playing in the AHL.

A CHL team could hold his rights but it wouldn't matter. Just as how Kelowna held Girgensons's CHL rights, but he could still play in the AHL because he wasn't drafted while playing in the CHL.

Yet another goal by Possler tonight. 4+1 on 6 games now.

 

[Rhett4]

This kid continues to intrigue me.

And Gustav Possler scored.. Again.. Fifth game in a row. He's been amazing so far for Modo, getting TOI in both PP and PK.

Excellent start, if he can establish himself already as a regular contributor in the SHL this could turn out to be a really great pick. Is he still playing on the 4th line in MODO?

Agreed. Way too soon to tell, but a potential gem. From what I've seen, he looks really good too. Those goals don't seem flukey.

He was a beast at Lake Placid as well. Scored some points and delivered some bone crushing hits.

Played on the top line today.

With my countryman Per-åge Skrøder?!? Nice!

 

[Reddawg]

The 2013 draft just keeps looking better and better all the time. So many potential gems mined out of that class.

Hate to rain on the parade here, it was a nice move by Possler but the defenseman quite blatantly scored on his own net

On topic, I'm intrigued by him. Looking to be one of our better picks of 2013, hopefully they give him a contract after another couple years in Sweden

He's playing in Modos first line and last game he played most of all FW's

It's quite nice to see a fellow countryman at this board too

Yay! Go Sabres and Mats Zuccarello! Skål!

 

[VictorLustig]

And...he scores again, sixth straight game. He also kicked in another one earlier, didn't count.

Was it a kick? I thought the goal was waived of for player (Skröder) in the crease. Either way, Possler is the real deal.

You're probably right, missed it. Pretty soft goal anyway, but he's playing well.

 

[Mrpm]

Guess who scored tonight? Yep, Possler for 6 games in a row! He actually scored two but one of them didn't count for some reason. Second in goalscoring now, after Linkopings Hjalmarsson. I think Possler logged over 20 minutes.

Just one more thing to dull the pain of this season. I don;t want to get my hopes to high but he is fun to follow so far. Imagine if he keeps it up.

 

[XO]

Possler just scored his 7th goal for the season. Scored in 7 straights games now... and he's the 3rd player in the history of SHL to do that together with Pavel Brendl and his current teammate Per-Åge Skröder. Amazing!

 

[XO]

assist on Anssi Salmela's goal too

 

[SatanwasaSlovak]

Haha, this was the guy Detroit wanted really bad right?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

@SabresProspects

For those curious, SHL/SEL record for consecutive games with a goal is nine (Ulf Sandstrom). Possler currently at seven. #Sabres #nojinx

Nevermind, that's correct, so I was wrong with my post earlier about the record. Swehockey only had stats from the 90's and Sandstrom did it in the 80's. For my team too, but I had no idea

any link/source for this theory?

that seems odd when Detroit had several picks before 130th and didn't use any on Possler despite the guy was supposed to not be available beyond round 4.. late in the 4th they selected David Pope instead..
