Rumor: MOAR SWEDES (Christian Folin)

[Very Stable Genius]

Mike McMahon
Ottawa Senators seem like the likely destination for Folin. 6-15-21 in 38gp as a freshman. He's 22. 6-4, 214 D out of Sweden.

Seriously though, solid numbers for first year NCAA defender.

 

[Emery]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

I think he's actually buddies with Lehner.

 

[Benjamin]

Nice. No such thing as too many Swedes.

 

[danishh]

I think he's actually buddies with Lehner.

oh, yeah, that was it. Lehner, not karlsson.

actually, he is buddies with Erik Karlsson too, but not our Erik Karlsson, Carolina's.

yes it is. Not sure what to make of that. It was there when i read it.

btw, i was watching the yale-UML game on thursday and folin was really noticeable. He really throws his body around. Fun guy to watch.

Might be false, he just denied it on his twitter:

@westandreas det är inte sant West. Jag har ingen aning vad det kommer ifrån!

(No idea where that came from)

as are my dreams....



It would be nice adding another RHD in the system

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Its probably a case of hush hush until/if he signs.

Well, McMahon said Ottawa is the likely destination but there's no mention of him actually signing. Could just be a case of ''it makes sense'' and nothing more.

Guess we'll see.

 

[derriko]

Hopefully at that size he has a Kronwall edge to his game.

According to an Ottawa Senators scout, Christian Folin is not leaving Lowell to sign with the Senators.


Well then, lock it....

Gryba, Ceci, Rutkowski, Wideman, Fransoo, Aneloski & Boyle are all right shots. Hopefully, Folin will be better than most of these guys with the exception of Ceci. I also hope that Boyle grows a half foot or so while in school to be as big as his brother.

 

[danishh]

possible ottawa talked to him and said they want him to stay in school for another year?

otherwise, we're probably out on him.

Not a fan of Gryba, and with the exception of Ceci I doubt we will see any of the others beyond 1 or 2 "reward" games.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Seeing as how the entire organization has been so ****ing quiet about everything lately I'm not surprised to see them shoot this down so quick being it true or not.

Aneloski wasn't even offered an amateur contract after his season was over, looks like he will go unsigned.
