Incredible what a deep proepect pool can do for you.

All of a sudden you can aim for high risk, high reward picks in the later rounds instead of the Klotz in the world.

Made his SHL debut yesterday.
Played 8:47, had 3SOG, 2 PIM, +0 in 5-2 win.

He was actually dressed the game before but did not see any ice time.

Will he be bouncing around leagues this season or is he going to stick in the SHL?

I imagine he is back down for J20 games at times when they don't 'need' him and there are breaks in SHL play. Right now he is #14 on the depth chart seemingly when everyone healthy. They probably only really want to dress 13 forwards most nights max.

He is up as Derek Roy and Karlström are injured and because Linköping kicked Mark Zengerle to the curb because they paid him a lot and he sucked in the SHL.


Still. Pretty awesome. I expected him to make his SHL debut this season... but not this early.

At his age, just getting a feel for higher level play will help him understand where he needs to work to improve his game.
Next year you'd like to see him stick.

That's because of how great of a prospect he is. Much better than Allison or Bunnaman.

Reported irl for van-related mischief.
I hope you don't mean this kind...
