[Warden of the North]

I'd like to say his goals were gorgeous beauties, but they werent.

Regardless, 2 goals is two goals and I hope he makes the Leafs one day.

His 1st was pretty nice. One-timed it from the doorstep, got it up in a hurry.

Actually, most goals I've seen from him come from around the net. I suppose that's a good thing?

 

[ShLou Foot]

So it's no longer the swedish elite league (SEL) but now the Swedish Hockey League (SHL)?

But anyways, has 22 points in 32 games with Frolunda this year and had a pretty good game today against USA with 2 goals 1 assist in a 4-2 win.

Please don't do that. Trying to expose people as idiotic (SEL vs SHL)

While failing to conclude that "anyways" isn't even a correct usage,"Anyways" is not in most dictionaries.IMO it's used predominantly by inarticulate people.

No clue, man. Let him have his little moment hahaha. I guess I was correct though, SEL was changed to SHL this year.

Please don't do that using "a" between even and correct is poor grammar... I find people who do that are predominantly inarticulate....

Kidding.... I couldn't resist...

SHL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!!!

That was like 3 weeks ago. Where have you been?

Ok I had one pick in mind here and it is Jaedon Descheneau. I watched a lot of the Ice this year, and this guy, Reinhart, and Montgomery were one of the best lines in the Dub. He's almost like a Molson to Tavares like set up here with Reinhart.

I can guarantee he'll get 90+ next year and get picked in the 5th. This is a guy who's value is only going to go up.

His draw back isn't even that he rides shotgun, it's just he's small. But he is a very exciting player.

It's a shame we didn't take this guy, he was killer most of the season and was massive in the Ice's winning streak. It's too bad we didn't pick this guy here.

I love looking back through the old posts on these topics.
Good call on Jaedon Descheneau.

Relax, not everyone reads or hears about it right away.
Regardless, I can't wait to see what this kid can do next year. Hopefully he can build on this season

i just hope he isn't a cerada with his asthma. if his ceiling is eventually a top six lupul replacement, i'd be ecstatic, but i don't think we have another steen on our hands.

There really isn't much of a comparison, cereda was a first rounder and Johnson was a 7th

 

[highslot]

i was talking about health... cereda had heart problems from what i remember. johnson had asthma which is why hit stats were poor before the year we drafted him. if he was playing like he was playing now, then he probably would have gone in rounds 2-3.

Yeah, what was considered him no trying hard enough was his undiagnosed asthma getting in the way. Once he knew what was wrong with him and he got the right medicine he improved greatly. But by then we had already picked him up.

I wasn't mad at the Johnson pick here, and glad we took him instead of Descheneau looking back on it. But hey, I was right about that all, lol.

Again - Andreas Johnson - that #Leafs 7th rounder that won SHL rookie of the year last year? Player of the game in Champs HL for Frolunda.

Stephen Burtch ‏@SteveBurtch 22m
He had 3 assists in a 4-3 loss to Geneva.

 

[91Stammer*]

What a stud he is turning out to be. He will be considered a blue chipper if he can build on his last season.

 

[Drew311]

What is Champs HL?

What is Champs HL?

Champions Hockey League. It's pretty cool.

 

[Pholus]

What is Champs HL?

Seems to be a similar tournament to what UEFA does for soccer.

He's been lighting it up so far.

Fingers crossed he's our version of an Alfredsson type find.
