And Khovanov, a guy we got in the 3rd round, is 13th in points and 10th in goals. I like and continue to like that pick, but the Q seems like a high scoring league in general.
I'll continue to plead ignorance on F. Johansson until I get a chance to watch him play some, but it is a little interesting that S. Johansson has 2 goals and 7 points in the about same number of games in the same league. Purely from stat-watching, Filip's team (Leksands IF) seems to score less and get scored on less, while Simon's team (Almtuna IS) scores more but allows more goals against. So even there it's hard to know what to make of it.
Edit: I take that back. Leksands has more goals, and Simon's actually 9th in scoring on Almtuna. So more points on an apparently worse team.
Simon is also almost a year older. It's a wait and see for me.
But the Wild's drafting has pretty much been like this for years, going by comps it seems.
We like Staal and Koivu, so we'll draft JEE.
We like Brodin, so we'll draft Filip Johansson.
We like Matt Cooke, so we'll draft Raphael Bussieres.
We like Kyle Brodziak, so we'll draft Adam Gilmour.
We like Matt Kassian, so we'll draft Kurtis Gabriel.
We like Marty Nanne, so we'll draft Louis Nanne.
might be a flawed approach
