LW Albin Eriksson - Skelleftea AIK, SWE Jrs (2018, 44th, DAL)

[Zaddy]

This is a guy I'm looking forward to watching this season. 6'4, 205 lbs winger who skates really well for a big man. Really raw from what I've seen but has a lot of potential. Will play for Sweden in the the Hlinka Memorial tournament in August.

Scored two goals today. Now 14 points in 15 games.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

62 PIMS in 15 games, along with 14 points. Is this guy physical as well?

He got like 50 of those PIM in one game, for official abuse or something similar.

Okay thank you. You look at a guy with size, and production...Seeing a high PIM could mean he's also nasty/physical, which is always intriguing. He may play that way as well anyway (and do it extremely clean) but I can't speak since I've never seen him. Thanks for the insight though!

He can be a bit careless at times. Wouldn't call him an overly physical player though. Was tossed out of a game at the Ivan Hlinka tournament for this:



Apparently he's traveling with the SHL team today btw.

 

[Appleyard]

Seen him a few times this year and last year and came away impressed with his skillset in the J20... now getting some limited SHL ice-time.

If he puts everything together he could be absolutely terrifying.

6'4, skates pretty well, good hands, insane release and scary around the net. If you want a shooter... jeez, he never looks to pass. And he is a nasty piece of work too. And a July birthday.

I imagine he could go ~2nd round... but he may start to get some real traction as the years go on. One of those players you watch and get the 'what if's' about. Could be quite unique.

A taste of what he is about:

[Hockeyfrilla]

 

[Magic Mittens]

I'm really liking this pick from Dallas. Hes got great wheels and hand. Hope he can put it all together

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Couple nice clips to start the year for Eriksson

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Didn’t like the pick at first I wanted to pick up Akil Thomas. I see why we picked him though. Young, huge, decent wheels and good offensive instincts. Might not be a top since player but could see him being an NHLer.

 

[Sticktape]

Round 2, #44 overall. For the title.

 

[VictorLustig]

10 points in 18 SHL games this season. Been playing really well lately.

 

[Kcb12345]

3rd straight 2-point game and has goals in 3 straight as well I believe. Leads all U19 players in scoring in the SHL

 

[WhatWhat]

He will look great on the wing for us when he makes the team in 2025

 

[Sticktape]

Can someone explain how he got 50 penalty minutes on one play?

SKE - BIF (0-2)

That's a mistake, he got 5+20(check to the head + game misconduct).

 

[SpinninRodIntoArmpit]

Never heard of this kid before, but he just had a magnificent shift against Kärpät in CHL. Toe dragged two guys on blueline, powered through third, almost scored and threw a penalty, then a no-look pass for easy opening goal. Instant man-crush.

He will be our Hintz on the wing.

Holy f***

He's getting loaned to MoDo for a month.
