Couldn't find a thread about him, but he is an interesting prospect that could be a riser if he continues to develop: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=147279
Played with Skellefteå J18 and Kiruna J18 in the J18 Elit league as a 15 year old in 2012/13, scoring 35 points in 34 games (18g, 17a). This gave him a call-up to the Swedish U16 team.
The same year he also played in TV-pucken, scoring 12 points in 8 games (6g, 6a), winning the prize for Best Forward – previous winners include quite a few NHLers.
In 2013/14 he is playing for Luleå, playing primarily in the J20 SuperElit league (highest junior league in Sweden) as a 16 year old, so far having 6 points (1g, 5a) in 12 games. Called up for Sweden U17 where he got 4 points in 3 games so far.
Got on my radar because he has been training with Luleå’s senior team which made the local news. Based on what I found about him, the general consensus from those that has followed him for a while seems for him to be an immense offensive talent but surprisingly good defensively, particularly when backchecking and with good decision-making skills in the game without the puck.
Not very tall or heavy at the moment but looking at his older brother (Petter Emanuelsson, plays for Skellefteå and prospect for San Jose) he got a fair bit of growing left to do. Petter was a SHL champion with Skellefteå last season (and joint top goal scorer for the team in the playoffs) so some potential in the family.
Other fun bits: Rumoured to have got invited to do summer training with NHLers Adam Larsson, David Rundblad, Tim Erixon when they were back in Sweden last summer.
Let me know if you know more about him.
