The thing that gets me slightly giddy (more than just thinking he is a well rounded, defensively responsible kid who could be a 3rd liner) is the flashes of brilliance you see from him offensively as well.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of pro level hockey player have hands good enough to occasionally wow.
But he made multiple plays this year vs men who for the most part have been playing in the third best league on earth for multiple years that were breathtakingly good.
The last game of the season vs Modo and the 2nd game of the play-in he dominated both games as a 3rd liner.

His goal vs Djurgarden just after the WJC was also probably the best goal I saw a Brynas player score all season.
1:40-1:59 of these highlights:

Walked through 4 guys like they were not there.
There was more stuff like that in the season that never got on Brynas's highlight reels either.
A diving backhand pass to Brodecki that the later rang off the post after Lindblom had made a block in his own zone, stolen the puck from the player the rebound off him went to, went past a player at center, was brought down from behind and while sliding on his stomach put 20ft across the ice to the tape of Brodeckis stick was insane.
I mean, you see those glimpses from his that make you think if it comes together he could really be a 2nd line guy.
