Prospect Info: Mattias Norlinder - Part 2

[Archijerej]

Perhaps our most intriguing prospect.

 

[montreal]

He really has a great wrister and skates like the wind. Really impressed

i've said it's like a forward on the blueline when he gets that wrister off. the offense is legit imo, just need to see how he does at a higher level at both ends.

 

[montreal]

having Caufield, Suzuki, Kotka and Norlinder on the PP shooting pucks at goalies is going to be hella fun to watch in a few years!

Just need that net front presence.

they can pick up McCarron off waivers by then. Just tell him to stand in front of the goalie and let the rest fire pucks at will

Perfect.

Norlinder said after the game that hes not 100% at the top level of his game yet.

well to be fair i'm sure that Malmo's goalie is saying the same thing.

Ylonen has a very good shot too...

Of course, although I only have an issue with the 2nd goal.. the other two are good finishes.

you just don't see too many SHL goalies giving up 7 in a game though was my thought, although if I recall they weren't very good last year though I tend to just follow our prospect not so much the league.

Just have to teach him how to play defence properly and we may have something.

 

[lilmaxo]

Let’s hope he has some kind of a EP records setting season at his position before he joins us next year

 

[Gains]

Imagine if we missed out on him when we moved down from pick #50 to #64.

 

[Redux91]

He's Fearless

 

[WeThreeKings]

Imagine if we missed out on him when we moved down from pick #50 to #64.

And all we got was f***ing Leguerrier right? Stupid.

They were really confident to pick him up it seems, despite trading back. Tells me that they need to keep doing those combines in Europe. There has to be something that results from being a dominant revenue team. To get Romanov the first year and Norlinder the second, out of these things... Dang, keep 'em coming.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Imagine if we missed out on him when we moved down from pick #50 to #64.

If they thought there was a chance Norlinder gets picked before 64 they wouldnt have done it.
See the drafting of Romanov.

 

[Skip Bayless]

trade him while his value is high

You hear about the times that they traded down and still got their guy, but you definitely don't hear about the times that they didn't.

 

[Gael]

Really excited about this prospect

 

[McGees]

Hope he logs monster minutes this year and dominates the league. Could be a real steal for us and makes the Patches trade that much sweeter.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

So what's the baseline for good offensive dmen who were SHL rookies at 20 years old?

Between .75/PPG if we hope he has a future impact in the NHL?

0.5 PPG would be incredible.

 

[JianYang]

Just need that net front presence.

KK seems like he knows what he's doing infront of the net as well.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

0.5 PPG would be incredible.

Okay, Klingberg did that as a 20 year old sophomore.
