Prospect Info: [2023 - 165th] Filip Eriksson (SHL - Vaxjo Lakers)

[WeThreeKings]

Eriksson seems to be really struggling to produce in the SHL so far. I'd have expected a harder year but it's a pretty far drop off in production even with the promotion in leagues, I wonder if he's injured.

Not injured just a bit snakebit. He's had chances. It's a jump, he's learning. Kapanen had a similar experience.

As of today, Eriksson has 1 goal and 1 assist in 22 games in SHL. Last year, he got 0g 6a in 29gp in SHL. At a certain time, I thought he's a decent pick.

He's still a decent pick, at the Champions league level he's productive.. but a lot of the games lately he has been 4th line or an extra forward. He's going to have to get stronger this off-season because the smarts and skills are good.

I personally don’t see it with him but I’m not hard line about it. Still solid production last year for where he was picked.

Not hating the pick at all. If he can really work on his skating there could be something there
