Slow cooked European wings? Is that like duck confit?

LOL. We can only hope your right. So far he is definitely cooking slow. All the articles I read about him say he has all the ingredients to be a well rounded solid centerman someday, but just doesn't do anything elite. So slow cook away.

 

[Chainshot]

Still out.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Patience with this kid. He’s a Hecht clone. Nothing he does pops out on screen, but he’s a glue forward who will help win games.

I wouldn’t rush on this kid.

It could also be surströmming, rotten herring a swedish special.

Man, he fell hard from the pedestal we put him on

A fall from the pedestal of a potential bottom six forward can't hurt that badly

Going through the first few pages, there was some top six chatter

Remember when Davidsson and Asplund were going to be better cheaper versions of Larsson and Girgensons. Those type of players are so easy to replace.

Does this mean he is no longer a Sabres prospect?

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Does this mean he is no longer a Sabres prospect?

No it just means his SHL cut him loose, he's still Sabres property

 

[Der Jaeger]

He needs to come over to Rochester

 

[Jim Bob]

He needs to come over to Cincy

Fixed it for you.

He was ranked really high in one of the stats guys prospect ranking, which I think contributed to people overrating him

[Buffaloed]

I really want this guy to make it so we can call him Harley.

 

[HaNotsri]

Davidsson is playing with his brother in hockeyallsvenskan now. Seen two games with him and while he'll never be playing in the NHL he'll become a leading player in the SHL eventually I'm sure.
Real high energy player but his brother Jonathan seem to have the most skill.

Another wasted Botterill draft pick

Another wasted Botterill draft pick

Weird comment when every single other pick from the 2017 draft is either already in the NHL or at least looks like a viable/legit NHL prospect. You're not going to hit on every single pick.

Botterill has a pretty awesome hit rate on draft picks.

Botterill has a pretty awesome hit rate on draft picks.

There seems to be a missing "S" in your post. Between awesome and hit.
