Prospect Info: Round 6, Pick 168: Olle Lycksell, C, Linkoping (SHL Jr.)

[Embiid]

I wish Dave Scott would umm,,,,, Lycksell the team....

 

[Larry44]

Does that mean he is likely to come here or is this to mean he is unlikely to come here?

I thought I read he is coming to camp and AHL this year. Prepared to be corrected.

 

[Eye of Ra]

so 3 NHL games so far for him, how did he do?

Short leash.

 

[deadhead]

He'll be back, needs the time to acclimate to NA ice, which is normal for most SHL players.
Showed good speed, has some strength for a finesse player, but not used to playing on crowded ice.

 

[Magua]

He has 18 points in 19 games on the 25th highest scoring offense in the AHL. He not only acclimated, he hit the ground running. He needs to acclimate to the NHL, which doesn’t happen except in the NHL.

 

[deadhead]

19g 2-8 10 at ES, which is good but not elite. [PP production in the AHL is often inflated, look at veteran scorers]
Anisimov made a big difference in his production.

He'll be back, Lycksell struggled a big in his NHL cameo, you could see the skills but the game was a bit fast.
He should be the first of the prospect forwards to be recalled.

Looked good in preseason, kind of faded. Hasn’t really been given a chance since. For example, one game he was given two shifts in the third period.

That being said, skill is evident.

You don't need to be elite in the AHL to contribute in the NHL. Especially if your team is a terrible situation not conducive to production.

Lycksell is better off on the 1st line in the AHL than the 4th line in the NHL with Brown as his center.
So there's no rush right now, with Farabee, JVR and Laughton/Cates as your top 3 LWs.
In a couple months, JVR will be dealt, and there will be a spot for Lycksell to play regular minutes in the top 9.

We all know that will not happen. Cates is also a center. Do not see him moving back to win the rest of this year. Unless they find 2 very good centers somewhere.

 

[deadhead]

Lycksell is a LW, hasn't played center in years.

He will not play regular minutes in the top 9.

Playing in the 4th line is perfectly fine if coaches and management don't place all blame for results solely on him. Which they would.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Called up

 

[Curufinwe]

Thank god they are dumping Willman

 

[Appleyard]

Thought this was a pretty crazy stat really.

 

[dats81]

Interesting.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

When does this kid get his 1st? Had some A quality chances the past 2 games and has stood out in a good way, imo. Seems to be quietly competent in his own zone too.
