Nothing too fancy, but he was quick to recognize the open guy for the easy goal. Solid powerplay work.

That's his strength, quick processing.

He honestly does remind me a fair bit of Zetterberg, and that's not to say that's what I expect from him, but just in playstyle.

That being said, he did also outproduce him (on a per game basis) at the same level at the same age, so who knows where his ceiling is.

Apologies if there's already a thread dedicated to him but if there is I can't find it. I saw his big jump in the prospects list but couldn't find much online either. Does the kid have a real shot with the big club?

 

[Toene]

He's very underrated due to the quantity of high-end prospects in the Habs pool, but he could be a player. He was not on most's radar becausr of an injury in his draft year IIRC.

Possibly in the future, definitely not this year.

He had a great season in the Allvenskan and good playoffs in the SHL.

He should make the SHL team this year and we'll see how he progresses.

Does the kid have a real shot with the big club?

I wouldn't think so at this point.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Said it before and I'll say it again, people are seriously underrating Eriksson. I think he has top 6 potential.

 

[Walksss]

If this guy becomes a top 6er we're gonna have to expand our top 6 to a top 12 we'll have so much talent. Insane depth in the organization right now.

 

[WeThreeKings]

This guy is the biggest sleeper in the org.
