We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Filip Eriksson – Centre – Växjö Lakers HC J20 #24
Filip Eriksson at eliteprospects.comMY BIGGEST SLEEPER in the later rounds. Lost most of his season to a scaphoid fracture and couldn’t really garner any consistency and didn’t get the chance to earn any international looks by way of bulk playing time and views.
Eriksson is a smart, up-tempo elusive centreman that oozes class through the neutral and offensive zones.
His skating, puck control and offensive vision are at high levels already. There aren’t many in the J20 league that can keep up with him once he’s in a lane in full stride. The top-end speed, acceleration and control at his top speed is a great watch, honestly.
The ability to extend plays, recover to soft areas and find his own scoring chances is also a mouth-watering feature.
Although not a huge man, he uses his speed and anticipation to great use, finding a hardness to his game. Beating defenders and forwards alike to battles, gaining inside positional leverage and usually skating his way from danger.
There’s some refinement needed defensively, but that will come with reps. He’s inked with Växjö in the SHL this upcoming season, I love what that league will do for his defensive development and confidence.
But in terms of what he brings, have teams haven’t had the chance to fully see what his arsenal is equipped with? I’m not sure. But I hope the Avs’ have. Could be a home run pick at 155.
Surprised there's actually an article on him somewhere.
In the 6th round, seems like a decent home run swing.
Seems good for a 6th rounder.
PPG in J20 and was playing SHL playoff games. Didn't play much this year (must have been injury related). I like it.

Like this pick a lot. He could have gone a lot higher if he didn't miss 3/4 of the season with a broken leg (edit broken wrist). Kid can fly out there, great skater.
Interesting. Scaphoid fracture, if not a complicated one, heal very good but takes at least 3 months (it's the bone with the longest healing time in the entire body).
So he basically lost a season but with no impact on his wrist. I like this pick.
Centern har gjort tolv SHL-minuter – skriver nu kontrakt: "Helt övertygade"
Mer hockey än du trodde var möjligt
Växjö's GM after Filip signed a senior contract with only 12 minutes in the SHL (they could've waited to hand him it until he reached 100 minutes as a U20):
We are trendsetters.
The new management likes the team soft and untalented, good times are coming our way
Our Swedish scout has made it interesting in recent years, so I'll hear him out with this guy.
This is one of the more intriguing players of the class (which isn't hard because the class is what is after Fowler was picked).
You got a guy with a major injury, didn't play much against his peer group and then got minutes in the SHL. Really interesting.
Zetterberg??????

perfect use of a late pick...
In J20 Nationel last year, he was 9th in PPG. He missed almost all year to injury.
And looking back at his stats at every level, he's been a PPG player or more almost evert year.
