Wait I thought Simon Danis-Pepin was the next Chara?
But he doesn't fit STANBOW's ideal type for Hawks d-men --ie. isn't small,fast,skilled PMDs who get overpowered and pushed around in our own zone and can't crease-clear--so he'll never play on a puck possession team like ours that Stan insists is the model for winning..
Yeah, Stan's only paying for his trans-Atlantic trip to Chicago to get his "laugh at the giant defenseman" kicks.
He'll be the best defenseman ever
Can he skate like Bobby?
Imagine a player that is a combination of the best Bruins DMen? Shore + Orr + Bourque with the size and shot from Chara
scary thought
I suppose if we can make fun of Svedberg as the next Chara,we can also ask the more important question: IS MARK MCNEILL the next anything?
Hjalmarrsson is a very good skater. May be able skate backwards around Svedberg.Svedberg is a good skater for his size and could be a very nice surprise for some people. Been improving his overall play the last 3 seasons. Would describe his playing style as similar to Hjalmarssons'.
A giant with incredible reach. Svedberg is among the very largest players in Swedish hockey today. A two-way defenseman in the Swedish junior league, but likely to develop into a more defensive minded type of player in the future. Skating and mobility is not impressive, but not as bad as someone would expect for a player of his large stature. He has average hockey sense, but decent enough positioning. Plays the body to some extent, but gets penalized a bit too much. A project that could turn out well if he continues to work on his mobility. Pretty active stick.
