Definitely Håkan-special, out from all lists.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Big. 6'4. Got a couple of SHL games last year.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Hakan approved? I'm down. LFG!

 

[NickH8]

Of course no analysis allowed for Red Wings picks on ESPN

 

[bedtime20]

His cousin is Alex Wennberg, going to be developed by Zetterberg/Kronwall, big, 4 games in SHL. I like the pick.

 

[Go Wings]

I feel bad for any player coming into the Detroit defensive zone in the future. Trying to go through all these giant defensmen with Cossa waiting in net won't be pretty

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Hroneks replacement in 3 years lol

 

[lhsgolf19]

Always down for 6’4” Swedish defensemen that Hakan approves

 

[WingsToPick4th]

I want the Johanson - Johansson future pairing lol

 

[NickH8]

No "NHL bloodlines" for the fake analysts on NHL net to talk about so we won't get any info from them

 

[ChadS]

His older brother is a good offensive RHD with a similar frame who took a while to transfer those skills to the pro game. Hopefully Anton has similar offensive upside. He already got some SHL games this season which is cool and a good sign.

 

[GoBoltz56]

Young for the draft, just turned 18 less than a month ago. Looks like he produced numbers in the U18 leagues this year and just got a little taste of U20 and SHL action. Noticed he had well over a PIM per game the last few years, so obviously plays with a physical edge and has some offense. A raw project type it seems

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

I want the Johanson - Johansson future pairing lol

The 'Jo-Jo' combines for the OT winner.

Bring that kid some Arby's, needs to add 40lbs

 

[MBH]

6'4 172 Swede Anton Johansson

6-4-10 in 22 games with the J-20 Leksands team. 0-0-0 in 4 SHL games.
Nothing from HP.
Nothing from EP.

This from Draftin' Europe
He’s a tall right-shot defenseman that moves smoothly around the ice, gets to places quickly and can close space on his opponents.
Despite his size he is light on the ice. He understands the flow of play and uses his intelligence to get places before the puck arrives. His footwork is clean and his mobility and balance are advanced.


They also suggest he's, pretty timid and has gap control issues.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

if he was without flaws he wouldn’t be a late round pick

 

[MBH]

if he was without flaws he wouldn’t be a late round pick

104 isn't late.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Hroneks replacement in 3 years lol

One can hope.

 

[Eye of Ra]

His cousin is Alex Wennberg, going to be developed by Zetterberg/Kronwall, big, 4 games in SHL. I like the pick.

and his dad was a very good player, even had offers from NHL but turned it down

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Big fan of this pick

 

[Killerjas]

Good skater and nice size. Needs to fil up his frame. Potential is a 3rd pair two-way defender.

 

[Henkka]

Wonder if we have two A.Johanssonssons as d-pair on some day.

Lefty and righty, also skill sets complimenting each other pretty well.

Both known for their front names then, like the Sedin's...

...Anton... to Albert...

 

[Henkka]

From Draper-interview:

- Saw him at Leksand
- He is 6'3½ right-shot dman we really liked
- Håkan and TC (Thomas Carlsson) have seen him the most
- We really like the path he is on
- Watched more from the video than in the past, and then have a dialogue (with other scouts)
- Played a lot on the swedish j20
- We like the size, the right shot, puckmoving defenceman.
