30th in SHL scoring. 4th for defense. I know basically nothing about him. In fact, I assumed he was from Sweden but turns out he was born in New Jersey.

There is a connection with DJ Smith though - Ebert played for Windsor while Smith coached the D there. He had decent stats for a Dman in the OHL, especially his last year. Nothing remarkable though, as you'd expect.

Seems like a good RHD for Belleville and solid organizational depth.

Erik Karlsson's replacement.

And is Dorion locked in DJ's basement? Nick's DJ's MVP TP no?

Don't know how reliable these are but here's some accounts saying it's confirmed.


The EP one still said rumors, but from what I recall Expressen.se sports page is valid enough unless a Swede tells me otherwise.

I read somewhere that it's a one way contract, which would create for some interesting scenarios.

From what I remember he was super talented. After his first year in the OHL he was supposed to be a first round pick in his draft. Something happened, I'm not sure if it was off ice issues or what not, but I do remember the name. I'll look into it more!

DJ Smith was his coach in junior I guess.

And he apparently has a bomb shot. Cant be upset with this at all.

Before his draft year he was being discussed as a top 10 OA pick, IIRC. Hopefully he's figured it all out and can shore up our RD depth, even if it is as an AHL/NHL tweener.

0.66ppg in the OHL, and played on the 13-14 Storm.
Drafted 7th round by the Kings.
0.32ppg in the AHL for three seasons before headed to Europe.

So not terrible numbers if he's matured now and has his head on straight.
