Top 3 rookies in points are Swedes

[JAS 39 Gripen]

ugh.........

 

[Visul]

For me the biggest surprise is that Svechnikov hasn't been able to crack into top 3. He'll come around in a year or two but I expected him to be more ready to produce in the NHL level. He's certainly suffering from "I cannot score" epidemic which is familiar in Carolina.

TWO of his points were with Tavares, another was on the PP, that must have been a crazy line change to have lasted for a period and a half. The internet is a thing, you can't just make up BS like that.

are you seriosu right now?
johnson played less then 12 mins that game., every line change our center goes out for this exact reason.
i guess tavares was on the 4th line then right, cause gauthier and johnson drew assists from that play.. thats how much sense ur making rn.

You're just reinforcing my point, genius. You agree that if Tavares is on then it's not a 4th line? Well, two of Johnson's points last night were with Tavares on the ice. Another was on the PP. The other Marleau was out there. So, you were being completely disingenuous when you said he said he scored 4 from the 4th line last night.

it called a line change, 2/3rds of the 4th line got a point on that play, johnson is on the 4th line and played 4th line mins, there were a few mix plays where he got points where it wasnt all the 4th line sure, but he was still playing 4th line which is what i initially said. 4 points playing on the 4th line and not 4 points all only on that line or w.e.

again you were wrong for assuming he plays with only matthews and jt when that was clearly wrong.

 

[Jetcetera]

Yeah no. It's actually one of the strongest in decades.

is that a joke??

Last year: Barzal, Boeser, Keller, Connor
2017: Laine, Matthews, Marner, Werenski, Murray
2016: Eichel, Panarin, McDavid, Gibson, Gostisbehere
2015: Gaudreau, Stone, Forsberg, Ekblad, Klingberg

Every one of those are better

 

[koyvoo]

1. Elias Pettersson 23+23=46
2. Rasmus Dahlin 5+23=28
3. Andreas Johnson 12+14=26

discuss.

Kotkaniemi is sitting on 26 pts himself.

 

[BakerMayfield]

Carter Hart isn't a Swede.

Carter Hart also isnt a point scorer

 

[amnesiac]

Yeah no. It's actually one of the strongest in decades.

false statement

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

One of these things is not like the others...

Indeed, Dahlin is a defenceman while the other two are forwards.

Kotkaniemi has arguably been more impressive.

Not one for one. Elias Pettersson is the second coming of Datsyuk and better rookie/prospect than any of those players you mentioned not named McDavid.
What Rasmus Dahlin is doing as an 18 year old in the NHL has not been done in decades and Heiskanen isn't far behind. You seriously think Ekblad and Klingberg were better prospects /rookies than either?

I tend to agree with this. Although it's a bit early to know which tier exactly Pettersson will slot in, at Marner/Matthews or at the next tier.

Pretty much yeah. Dahlin is very overrated

 

[alko]

Here we go. Sweden vs Finland. Round 2. Who has the best young core?

Sweden has this trio. Finland has Laine. + many others.

Sweden won last 2 senior WCH. Finland rules the junior level.

The battle shall begin.

Ah! I see. You're one of those.. Never mind then.

Sweden won seniors with nearly complete NHL-Team. Senios WHC not a measure.

 

[Super Hans]

was not even aware Pettersson was swedish

thought he was a middle eastern jew

Pretty sure they had an entire episode of Ancient Aliens on Pettersson.
