LW Liam Öhgren - (2022, 19th, MIN)

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Usually the complimentary guy doesn't significantly out-produce the line drivers though.

Ohgren: 33 goals and 58 points in 30 games (1.93 PPG)
Lekkerimaki: 20 goals and 35 points in 26 games (1.34 PPG)
Ostlund: 9 goals and 42 points in 32 games (1.31 PPG)

What accounts for this massive gap in production?

I’m of the opinion that Ostlund isn’t as good as advertised. He’s the worst skater of the three, weakest physically and worst shooter.


Ohgren would produce well with anyone but I think Lekkerimaki and Ostlund don’t put up as many points without him.

Spot on about Ostlund and Ohgren, but I do think Lekkerimaki is a heck of a player and if we didn`t already have Raymond he`d be close to top of my draft list.

I really like Lekkerimaki but I don’t think he’s as good at creating offense on his own. Great triggerman but will need a playmaker for sure.

I thought he was a real sparkplug in the SHL and believe he has a much more rounded game that he gets credited for because his goalscoring is just unique in the swedish system.

I actually think Ostlund is getting undervalued because he does all the little things for the line and is really the straw that is stirring the drink.

He's a potential steal in the draft imo.

9 points 6 games in u18 wc

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He will play NHL games and probably have a long career, but I think if your team is drafting this guy round one you are going to be disappointed. Does he have line 1 upside? I don't think he does. Doesn't mean he's a bad round 1 pick, but one that isn't going to excite fans.

Swedish forward Liam Ohgren split time between the SHL club with Djurgardens IF and their junior teams. While he didn’t get a lot of ice time in the SHL, he played 25 games and picked up a goal and an assist. As a 17-year-old he led the J20 league in goals and was close to the top of the point charts despite playing just 30 games. He picked up 33 goals and 25 assists for 58 points. Ohgren also helped the team to the league final, putting up two goals and four assists for six points in six playoff games. Ohgren also helped the Djurgardens J18 to the league title. He scored five goals and four assists for nine points in five playoff games.

His profile seems like a Joffrey Lupol type. Good size and fitness, offensive shooter, but not exceptional skater. He’s also like Lupol in that he likes to be a pretty boy it seems in some of his media shots lol.

 

[Preds666]

Poor man's Gabriel Landeskog in many aspects. To me a 2nd/3rd-line player. Feels rather "safe" as a future NHLer. I would draft around #20-25. Worst I've seen him this season was at the U18 Worlds, but then again he played injured and it affected his skating considerably.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

He's got a pretty good shot from distance & solid playmaker too. Can find holes to score. Also uses his body effectively.

Surprised to read many ppl down on his upside, he may not drive a top line but I think he's a legit top 6 forward that can score & be productive on a good team.

At 15 I wouldn't mind this player for the Canucks.

 

[MMC]

Welcome to Minnesota

 

[BKarchitect]

The Stockholm boys killing it this draft. And still a chance Odelius makes it four in the first for Djurgarden.

 

[rynryn]

so poor man's landeskog...does he have the same attitude and aggressiveness and landeskog?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Anyone have any insight into what his role on the team will look like? Djurgardens losing a lot of players?

Should be top 6 for the WJC, no?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Should be top 6 for the WJC, no?

He's not on the preliminary roster right now

His strength is his skating.... Weird post.

Really solid pick by Minnesota. Guaranteed NHL player. Probably not 1st line upside but can be a puck hound for two skilled guys. I think he could be a good fit with Rossi.

so poor man's landeskog...does he have the same attitude and aggressiveness and landeskog?

Solid description.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Really like this player and was surprised he was the last of the 3 Swedes to go. Best of luck in Minny

 

[theslatcher]

Scored a hatty.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

He’s been producing at a good clip lately after a slow start. 10 points in his last 12 games

[Chainshot]

Two more goals today, 6 in 6 playoff games.

The first goal tonight -



Making friends before his second goal -

Avslöjar: Liam Öhgrens val i SHL – är överens med Färjestad

Det blev inget spel i SHL för Djurgården, och nu tappar man sina talangfulla spelare, födda 2004. Enligt vad Expressen erfar så har en av Djurgårdens främsta forwards i slutspelet bestämt sig för att flytta till SHL. Allting pekar på att det blir Färjestad.

Heading to Färjestad.

He’s looking more and more like Landeskog.
