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

[Curufinwe]

Making the Austrian Junior team is a bit easier than making the Swedish one.

[deadhead]

Well, if he has his breakout SHL season, guess we can write him onto the 2019-20 Phantom's roster.

 

[Appleyard]

Initially was not given... he drew a penalty a couple of minutes before the goal to with an awesome play.

How fast is Olle skating these days, and has he finally grown up (looked like Striiker's older brother a year ago, 14 at best).

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I was dumbfounded by the Lycksell pick at the time.

But man the Flyers’ Swedish scouting is damn good. Looks like they got another Swedish steal.

He was but an embryo, and now he moves like a nitro embryo - in time, he will be of a size that you can approve of.

You were dumbfounded? Kinda strange.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

You were dumbfounded? Kinda strange.

He only had something like 9 points in 29 Super Elite league games.

Shut up whiner.

Above average skater in the SHL for sure.

And he is listed at 5'11.5 and 185lbs now.

Linköping HC - Timrå IK

Highlights from yesterday.

He is #31.

Shame they did not show two immense dangles he pulled off... yesterday he had all the confidence on earth.

 

[Appleyard]

 

[Appleyard]

His assist is on goal #4, he is #31.

Another pass happy guy...

 

[deadhead]

Geez, can't we find a Swedish sharpshooter?
Probably have better luck with a Finn, they get taught young to shoot at Russians.

 

[Fossy21]

He scored his first goal of the season today, the 3-0 goal in a 4-0 win. So far he's 1-3-4 in 6 games played and solid all-round play.
Of course it helps that his team hasn't lost in regulation and is 18-6 in goal differential. His line has been the most exciting, arguably.

@Appleyard must still have that new girlfriend.

[Appleyard]

Really has been great to start the year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Our 30th best prospect is heating up!

If he can keep it up the whole year this time (last year started great and then fell off) pretty sure he will be ready to step into an pretty decent sized AHL role next year and do a good job.

Did you ever find out whether it was Hogberg's choice or the Flyers' choice that he stay over there and not sign?

 

[Magua]

In sadder news: "Adam Ginning was the #6/7 and played 11:24, +0"....

I'm worried Linkoping is ruining him. We need to bring him over ASAP.

Flyers I believe. He told me that he would do whatever the Flyers wanted.
