Viktor Arvidsson has 26 goals in 36 games

GM tip: If you missed the draft, take a chance on a Swedish late bloomer. Unless your organization sucks, then pick whatever and pray, because the problems are much worse than picking from the herd.

Franzen, Nyqvist, Strålman, Karlsson, Lindholm, Zibanejad etc... I'm seeing a pattern here.

Add alfredsson and naslund to the list.

Swedes are known to become better at 25 than at 20.

How crazy would I have sounded if I had said in November that Arvidsson would have one less goal than Laine and almost as many points despite missing 22 more games? He may surpass him in both by the end of the season.

Yet Laine is going to get 10+ million this summer.

Wasn't there some Nashville analyst who said that contract was a big mistake?

It was a local radio host. The guy who said it isn't an analyst. He is a shock jock.

The thread title is factually incorrect. Arvidsson has 25 goals in 35 games.

Laine is TWENTY years old and has scored 105 goals in 211 games. He's still young enough to be playing junior.

Hockey players in general are better at 25 than at 20.

You probably mean that Swedes develop a little later but I had to point that out just because.

Almost scored an incredible lacrosse style goal from behind the net tonight too but hit the post.

 

[Gnashville]

26 in 36 now

 

[mackelroy]

Arvidsson kicks ass, sometimes I feel like that whole line can read each other’s minds

He hasn't scored a goal since 1962 though.

People were predicting he would score 80 this year

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

He’d probably be beating Ovechkin if he played the entire season.

Easy now, let's settle down a bit.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

He remind anyone else of Sergei Samsonov?

 

[triggrman]

Here's what's a bit more crazy, in only 36 games, he have 24 even strength goals, tied for 5th in the league, only 4 behind the leader in 21 fewer games.


Now that I've said that, I'm sure he won't score again.

Also, he sucks on the PP, 1 goal, come on.....

 

[CP4]

He's probably gonna set a career high in goals while also setting a career low in assists this season.

Ovechkin much?

I enjoy scenarios like that. Same with saying, in June 2009, that Pittsburgh wouldn't win a game beyond the 2nd round in the next 6 years. Or to say in October 2015, that in less than 1 year, both Weber and Jones wouldn't be in Nashville.

Just 8 more goals for the franchise record! Four more to be just the 2nd to hit 30 goals more than once.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at this. The fact that this franchise’s record is still a measly 33 goals after 2 decades.

Cry. I thought that Vegas coming in would mean another franchise that didn't have a 40-goal scorer, but then Karlsson had to go and get 43 last season.

Scandinavians gotta learn from NA's how to get paid.
