And people say Chevy is napping at the lake...

Gotta get the important stuff like this out of the way before dealing with...

*checks notes*

potentially trading 3 of the most important players on the roster...

Who?

6th rounder from last year. Could turn out a steal for the Jets.
Solid 2-way C. Was good for Sweden at WJC.

22 games in the SHL without a point this year. I'm not really sure what to think of that. The fact he even played 22 games in the SHL as an 18 year old suggests the team saw something in him, but to not record a point? Hopefully he can develop the offensive side of his game.

I can’t believe it’s not butter

A lot of those games he had 0:00 ice time, others less than a minute. SHL teams dress a 13th forward that don't always get in the game.

Ok that makes sense. I'm still not sure what to think though. Playing 0:00 min isn't going to be great for player development. Anyway, still an interesting prospect for a 6th round pick.

He also played 33 J20 games and got 33 points. He was shipped up and down a lot, at one point he had dressed for games in 5 consecutive days I think. Seemed like Linkoping saw enough in him to bring him up and experience the big league while sending him down at every opportunity to be the go to guy in the J20s. He also got onto the World Juniors team and showed really well.

If I remember the scouting reports correctly, Wagner was/is a strong defender who has enough offensive skill to complement scoring wingers.

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

Any Swedes follow him and have an opinion?

 

[Boxertim]

Dubois replacement. How will also replace Helle and the stick guy who knows the feel of the knobs for each player.

 

[Thechozen1]

Showed well against his peers at the WJHC and has been productive in Sweden’s junior league. Hopefully he makes a permanent jump to SHL and earns some actual playing time so we can gauge his potential a little better.
