Prospect Info: Hampus Melén

[Frk It]

This video is linked to his Eliteprospects profile, don't know if it's actually him but looks like it's quite old:


Does anyone know if the kid plays center?

The next Datsyuk?

Stats seem to indicate he's played some center.

271 faceoffs taken in 15 games with a miserable 38FO%
I suppose its a good thing that faceoffs can be one of the easiest skills to improve upon

There's some stuff about him at RWC. There's an article. http://www.redwingscentral.com/2013/07/01/4083/red-wings-mine-sweden-again-in-final-round/

There's stuff in his profile now too. http://www.redwingscentral.com/prospects/hampus-melen/

Note that they have him as a center.

Some work for Kris Draper.

Yeap, he sounds like our kinda guy. It's a 7th round pick; we'll be excited if he becomes *anything* really.

Congrats on your hometown producing a draft pick! (Though not sure how big it is, I live in Toronto which produces about 10 draft picks a year for example)

Thanks! About 20000 living in the municipality. Hockey is easily the biggest sport here. Oliver Ekman-Larsson grew up in the municipality aswell if I'm not mistaken, but that's about it!
