Lucas Feuk, LW, Södertälje SK J20, 6’0, 185lbs
DOB 02.19.01

Feuk has been one of J20 SuperElit’s biggest surprises so far this season, and despite playing on a quite weak Södertälje team and having close to no support in many games, Feuk has been able to put up 29 points (14 goals and 15 assists) in 27 games, which places him third in both points and goals in J20 SuperElit’s southern division.

Feuk is a slick forward with great offensive instincts that is all about scoring points and goals and creating scoring chances for himself or his teammates. Feuk has the ability to completely take over shifts on his own, he has high work-rate in the offensive zone and puts a lot of effort into forechecking, using both his body and stick. When he wins the puck in the offensive zone, he protects it well and can change pace quickly with his first steps to make a swift rush past a defender. Feuk also has smooth and slick hands and can stickhandle himself past a defender or to generate some space for himself, even while playing at low speed or from standing still. He plays quite fancy with the puck, often looking for nifty passes or flashy ways to bring the puck to the net, sometimes he plays with a bit too much risk and loses the puck because he made a creative but too low percentage play.

While Feuk has quick first steps with the puck and is an overall decent skater that looks quite smooth as he carries the puck or looks around for open space to position himself for a pass, he has quite average top speed. He has no problems outskating slower defenders, but you will not see him blaze past his opponents. Feuk is a bit more of a goal scorer than a playmaker, he has a variety of way he can put the puck into the net and his wrist shot is fast and has a tricky release, but he still possesses good passing abilities and cannot be left with too much time and space in the offensive zone or he will find openings to set up his team mates.

Defensively Feuk has a bit to improve. He is often a bit too eager to go on a counterattack and tries to anticipate plays or create situations where he quickly can win the puck and jump out of the defensive zone. While Feuk can be brilliant at times, and have dominant shifts, he has some consistency-issues. After an amazing shift he can have one or two shifts where he gives the puck away or isn’t involved enough in the defensive zone, if he could find a more consistent level to his game, he would quickly raise his stock for the draft, since the potential and ability to play as a top prospect clearly is there.

Less than ppg in the third tier league, not really good numbers. I wonder if he's had injury problems, not that many games played per year since his draft. Or maybe just covid causing less games played in those leagues?
