Prospect Info: Round 5, Pick #143: Samuel Ersson, G, Västeräs (Allsvenskan)

[Appleyard]

Kind of comedy towards the end. SHL scorers just went to sleep I think aha. Like 2 jam attempts late on not even on the game-sheet as events. A few other shots in 2nd and 3rd not listed.


He is playing so well.

He stopped several cross ice passes today too by putting stick out and deflecting them to boards.

Resting him up for the relegation avoidance/MVP push...

Dont think there has been a better goalie outside the NHL over the last ~3 months.

So a Hart/Ersson pair is a realistic hope?

So a Hart/Ersson pair is a realistic hope?

No, because this organization will be too afraid of two young goalies

I think so. I dont think Ersson is that far away now.

Doh!

It's a nice thought for he future. Ideally, a situation arises where they have a healthy competition and do a 1A, 1B thing..

Starting to resemble the Favell/Parent era. Imagine the Flyers having a pair quality goaltenders?

A little before my time, but yeah. The idea of two guys that you feel confident can perform at a high level and help the team win is rather appealing.

Appreciate all your updates on him. Sure looks promising.

Do you think this kid is the real deal? If so would you bridge Hart the next few years while you wait for Ersson? Or would go long term deal with Hart?

Hart should be bridged anyways. He has not been consistent yet in his career.

[Tripod]

Anything you can share about Arvid Soderblom?

Seems to have great stats and is only 21 years old and undrafted. Great team? Or someone is going to get a good young kid for free?

of course it's Chicago....

 

[Appleyard]

A visual of how good Ersson has been.

 

[yzerman]

Read today he will not be offered a new contract by Brynäs next season ,they want a older more experience goalie to tandem with Viktor Andren 27.

Any chance Flyers will take him over this summer and play in the org. next season?in my mind he is more than ready to fly over and like he says in the article that is his big dream.

 

[yzerman]

I think so. I dont think Ersson is that far away now.

Right now he is better then Hart and in the future he is going to be a strong candidate for the nr 1 job.

Flahr made it sound like they were going to sign him in the offseason, but weren't sure if he'd play in Sweden or the AHL next year. I'd guess they'd only bring him over if they thought he could be the #3 next year. Whoever is going to tandem with Ustimenko next year will have to be the 3rd goalie.
