Forsmark is a good player. Not a bad pick to bet on at 101.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Already seen 3 folks (Pronman, Peters, and some other guy) that had Forsmark in their 50s going into the draft.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Wheeler had him 35 it looks like (since he's usually fairly aligned with our picks).

 

[Svechhammer]

I like this pick.

19 years old 6'2 200 lbs

Was a better than PPG player in the J20 league, and has 45 games under his belt in the SHL.

I was thinking now is the time the Canes pick a d-man with good skating, is around 6'2-6'4, somewhat limited offensively and American---well, 3 out of 4 is pretty good.

 

[Unsustainable]

Nice

Eh, I have my doubts. Obviously he’s bigger than the competiton at that level, which makes things so much easier. But that advantage will disappear at the pro level, and he’s likely to regress. By the time he gets the Canes we’ll be lucky if he’s 5’6”.

Ahh f***, he's a defensive Skinner

So we can simply put him on Fensore's shoulders and wrap them in one uniform. Et voila! A complete defenseman!

Just be sure to put the smarter one on top.

I hear they play everything.

Can confirm. I listen to them on my phone, they played Milkshake today, that one surprised me.

 

[theslatcher]

Great start to the season from him.

4 apples in 6 games, and getting rewarded for his play by getting more and more ice time.

Also up for SHL's Assist of the Week as seen here:

 

[DaveG]

that outlet pass looked so much like some of the Pitkanen to Jokinen ones that we got to see here that it's uncanny

 

[theslatcher]

Assist of the week, off the rush:



Also: the most recruited player in fantasy SHL right now.
