[FLYguy3911]

Made the draft cutoff by 3 weeks. This is a deep sleeper. Only 29 games above the J18 circuit.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

The littlest hockey player. Love it.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Almost a Sept. birthday. Really young for draft.

Patrick is almost 1 year older than him.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Sounds like a longterm stash

 

[tade]

There's your typical late SWE pick, like it, he's so young.

 

[whitstifier]

EP has him at 5'10"

Flyers love their deeeeeeeeep Swedish sleepers. Great name too. CDP future favorite I bet.

Small, physically immature but that pic could be old. Very late b-day as mentioned.

Clearly he tore up the J18 and probably was a depth J20 guy who maybe wasn't physically ready for it. It's very interesting to say the least. I love picks like this. Not drafting for value or who fell. It's being bold and trusting your best scouts, like their Swedish scout.

 

[GKJ]

That is the smallest player I have ever seen drafted

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

And he is 7!

Maybe its just me, but he looks like a young Neil Patrick Harris
he looks like he is 13.

 

[Young Sandwich]

Didn't realize my 10 month old son was eligible for the draft this year... The deepest of sleepers.

Played for that team last year so photo still old.

To me, he looks like an embryo.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Alrighty then.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Always good to have a forward Swede in the prospect pool since Lindblom is graduating to NHL/AHL

Looks about a year older!

you're the best man when I need a laugh

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I can promise you that nobody on here, with the exception of Coffe, will ever pronounce his last name exactly right. That "y" is a sound unknown in English, somewhere between a long and short "u" and a short "o" and some other stuff only Vikings know about.

 

[ChurchOfAlfie]

At the very least he's gonna have a hell of a "what I did this summer" presentation when he starts the 4th grade in the fall.

What were the search words?

young blonde swedish teen....

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

At the very least he's gonna have a hell of a "what I did this summer" presentation when he starts the 4th grade in the fall.

And in a few years, a "How I Met Your Mother" presentation.

 

[dats81]

That's exactly the type of sleeper pick that you have to make in the late rounds. At least some depth for the Phantoms down the road. May surprise in a couple of years if he can fill out and add to his body.

I bet I can do it. If someone says it properly one time, I can mimic it.
