I thought he had been in Sweden longer. SVT said he came here when he was 10 years old? Or did they just mess that up? Should it be 10 years ago? He speaks swedish like he was born here and his "ösgötska" (dialect in Östergötland district) is spot on.
Did he say in the interview or does anyone know why he moved to Rogle? ( Talking about this interview - http://www.svtplay.se/klipp/1572586/reportage-edgars-treijs )
P.S is it just me or he seems to be taller than listed (1.75) ?
What's up with this guy? Seems he's not getting the minutes he should get (mostly playing U16, even though he's a 98 born). Considering that he is dominating U16, shouldn't he be playing regulary at J18 level? As far as i'm concerned, he has appeared only in several games in 3rd or 4th line. Under 35 games a year is nothing at this age.
A few days ago Treijs was drafted by Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL. Your predictions? Any chance he goes there this / next year?
Reminder - he's 2016 eligible, therefore if he chose to go there this year, he would play 2 seasons there till the draft. By the way, Zemgus Girgensons played for Dubuque and joined Dubuque at the age of 16.
Isn't that kind of a huge jump from u16 league?
Enormous, even above average SuperElit players usually don't make a smooth transition. But since he's that young, they probably have some sort of development plan.
To be fair, would probably be a very good J18 Elit player if he would've got a fair shake.
Children, especially if forced to immerse themselves, are great at learning new languages.
Apparently you can see their game results here - http://www.salisburyschool.org/page.cfm?p=560&teamID=124&display=Schedule
And Treijs' stats here - http://www.ushr.com/neprep/team/stats/2014/48?playerID=21041
Not sure what's happening, but he should score a lot playing with this kind of competition (they even mentioned in salisbury school hockey twitter account that he is expected to make huge contribution on offense). Unless something has changed drastically, his CWC u18 stats suck as well.
I don't want to point fingers, but everything started going down when he left Linköping. He didn't even get to play in J18 last year in Rögle as 16yo, because they were packed. Right now nobody is even talking about him and no info can be found on the internet.
