I love this pick, Fagemo at #50 is great. He’s already had a full year in the SHL!
 
Another possibility at 33: Samuel Fagemo. versatile, lw/rw. 19 yr old with Frolunda...scored 10 goals in 8 games in the SuperElit and moved up to Frolunda in SHL and was their 6th leading scorer, scoring 14 goals and then 6 goals, 4 assists in 16 games, on Frolunda's championship run, in which they won. Scoring 14 goals at 18 in SHL is great...he turned 19 in March (as did Kupari) Jacob Moverare played on the Frolunda team, so am sure the Kings saw a lot of him.

Samuel Fagemo, LW, Frolunda-SHL
March 14, 2000 | 5-foot-11 | 194 pounds
Fagemo went undrafted last season after a good, albeit unspectacular, draft season. He started off briefly in the J20 Sweden ranks but quickly rose up to the SHL. He was extremely productive for an 18-year-old, getting significant minutes and power play time for a Frolunda team that won the SHL. He was also impressive at the world juniors. Fagemo isn’t a guy who wows you in any one area. He skates well, but he’s not a blazer. He’s skilled but won’t have a highlight reel rush. He has a good shot and can score goals in a variety of ways, be it a hard drive or picking a corner from the circles. Fagemo gets a lot of chances close to the net, and despite not being that big or strong, he drives the net hard. He showed flashes of top-end hands and vision, but not consistently. The skill set on its own doesn’t overly excite, but it’s hard to ignore his incredible production.

@Peter James Bond II I see what you're doing! :thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu::thumbu:

Perfect value for the 3rd round.

Well looked like we had to trade up to get him.
