Prospect Info: Nils Lundkvist: Part III

[SnowblindNYR]

How does Lundkvist compare to what Fox was as a prospect a few years in?

I would guess most people would put him higher than Fox. Remember Lundkvist is playing in a top 3 league in the world vs NCAA hockey

How does Lundkvist compare to what Fox was as a prospect a few years in?

Arguably higher at the same check points on development, albeit with Fox “gaining ground” and closing the perception gap as he progressed.

In many ways Fox exceeded just about everyone’s internal and external expectations last season. The general consensus was that he was probably a second pairing guy who could see some time on special teams and have a nice career.

Not nearly as many were expecting him to jump out of the gate and so convincingly trend in the direction of a first pairing type.

His refusal to sign with Carolina aside, his trade value more or less reflects that view.

 

[Thordic]

I can’t fathom people talking about dealing this guy unless it’s for a 1C. He oozes top pair potential.

I'd package him for PLD in a heartbeat and that's not a knock on Nils. But outside of that type of trade, he's a keeper.

 

[GunkWinger]

I believe that if we trade Nils anytime soon, we will end up regretting that decision.

 

[Edge]

I think any Lundkvist deal would be for a very, very good player. I don't see him being moved in a run of the mill transaction.

Yeah, I think no less than a guy like that would be wise to deal Nils for.

And if I'm packaging him with other premier assets I'd probably target someone other than PLD as well. Can I aim for Eichel first?

that depends on the return...i'm a huge Nils fan but no one is talking about giving him away. if he's dealt it likely is for a REALLY good player.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Would Lundkvist for PLD straight up be considered fair value?

 

[Leetch3]

Would Lundkvist for PLD straight up be considered fair value?

no it will cost more. maybe if nils was in the nhl already and playing well it might be closer but not at the moment.

Haven't read thru entire thread but when is Lundqvist earliest possible arrival at MSG?

This year? Next?

The earliest he can sign is June 30th, unless he is released before then by Luleå and the Swedish federation.

he would have been over this year if not for the pandemic...likely in hartford given our depth on the right side. but he would have been in the mix.

 

[Maximus]

Thx fellas. So basically we are talking if the 2021-22 season starts on time next October, Lundqvist will be on the roster? Can't wait to see this kid on the big stage.

Lundkvist will have to be good enough in camp to make the team, which he should be, but he may need some adjustment time to playing in NA.

And then there's the problem of there not being a spot for him, currently. Given that the DeAngelo/Trouba experiment lasted all of maybe 2 days, it's even more likely now that DeAngelo gets moved at some point in the near future.

And of course, Schneider might have something to say about it as well.

I'm not sure what Buffalo or Columbus' schedule is in 2021-22.

Amazing how loaded we are on the right side. I mean it's insane....an embarrassment of riches!

Keep willing it into existence lol

haha funny. So does that mean Eichel will be making his MSG debut as well in October 2021?....

Unless PLD does it earlier.

 

[Maximus]

Unless PLD does it earlier.

That would work...either/or!!

Or Panthers lays an egg again and are looking to move Barkov.

That experiment lasted longer than TDA's Parler experiment

We'd have to be looking at something like...
Miller-Trouba
Lindgren-Fox
TDA-Lundkvist

Probably eventually trade TDA and fill in with Robertson/Jones/Schneider

 

[Mr Clutch]

Havent really seen him play. How does he compare to Quinn Hughes, makar, heiskanen when they were his age?? Is he close to that level??
