2023 NHL draft prospects

[Malmo79]

New to this one here but reading about some prospects in Sweden - saw quite few games and tournaments this year, but Anton Petrini AIK and Borna Kopac Täby are far ahead of Dvorsky from Linköping at the moment. Petrini will be definitely playing TV Pucken this year, pitty for Kopac he can’t play because he is not from Sweden. Not sure about Dvorsky.
Top goalies at the moment for me - Noah Erliden HV71 and Teodor Munther AIK​

I also think it’s a good list and those guys are top in Europe. All players with very good hockey sense and skills. Will be interesting to follow them in forthcoming years. I guess they are all on the scouts targets already.

[/QUOTE

can’t tell for others but in Sweden are Petrini, Kopac and Stenberg way, way ahead of Forsfjall, Jamaldinov and Lejon. Möller is such an average D, not even best 2005 in Rögle?! Where did you get this list??? Even Dvorsky is missing.

Forsfjall, Möller??? They are not even near to Ludwig Andersson ( D ), Anton Petrini and Borna Kopac ( F ) in Sweden.

Where is Juraj Slafkovsky 2004???

Slafkovsky is 2022 draft

 

[Malmo79]

Slafkovsky is 2022 draft

yes and he is not on his list!!!

 

[hellwar9]

yes and he is not on his list!!!

this is list for 2023 draft

 

[Malmo79]

this is list for 2023 draft

it’s not written
where are then Dvorsky, Kärki, Ciernik....

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

It's not a closed list but an open list that suggests names according to the players that I have been able to study. Concerning Sweden, i favor players who played in elit because the level difference is large between elit and D1.

I didn't know Ludwig Andersson, he seems very strong but Forsfjall's performance is by far better than Petrini. Kopac, only one game in D1 U16. Arttu Karki nothing special to be already notiefied. Dvorsky too.

sorry but I must correct you, in Stockholm region there is no Elite and D1 in U16, it’s only D1, which is Elite in other regions. They also play only 2 halfs in U15 not 3 like other regions.
Petrini was much better at Folke tournament then Möller which is strongest U15 tournament in Sweden.
Kopac only played one game in U16 because he broke his leg, but he scored 4 points. Check what coaches think about him.
Playing in Elite 16 or 18 doesn’t always mean you are extra good, sometimes they just don’t have enough players.

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

Thanks for the information. However, I compared Petrini to Forsfjall but i repeat, my data base isn't a closed list. I'm just notifying some names. 4 points in one game. Ok but wait and see. I selected players who regurlary play in elite and they are the best. Rather take my list like this : i missed him (Morgan Moller, Zeb Forsfjall) rather than saying : omg !!! how can you forget to mention this player !!!

We're talking about 14 yo kids. If i take the U14 Sweden national team in 2015/16... no Lucas Raymond, no Helge Grans, no Zion Nybeck

Half of the players we're talking about will not play in NHL. We only talk about potential and Morgan Moller can currently aspire to be drafted in 40 months.

Concerning Sweden, i favor players who played in elit because the level difference is large between elit and D1.

When it comes to 14-year-olds, pretty much all of them are playing with their hometown teams. It's easier to play in a U16 Elit team if you live in a bigger city and for many kids that is pretty much impossible. It's too early to differentiate between U16 Elit and D1/D2 players at this stage.

Sweden Selects is not a national team, if that's what you're referring to.

I totaly agree....you have players which are playing in Elit teams and are not so good as some players in D1; depends from the club. Some clubs have also regulations, that younger players can’t play in higher cathegories, which doesn’t mean they couldn’t.
All those players are good, it’s matter of personal opinion who you like more.

 

[KohoPai66]

I think Sweden doesn’t have U14 National team yet. If this is Sweden Select then is just one of so many privat Selects teams in Sweden.

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

All young players are forced to move to large city or rather in cities where there are good teams. Anyway Sweden or Finland are very metropolitanized country. A kid rarely lives more than an hour from a good team.

I only notified 5 Swedish names that could be selected. Nothing else. I didn't say it was the best 5.

Yes i know that Sweden Selects is a unofficial team. I mention it because my correspondant quoted the best players on this team.

You are right, different eyes see different.

 

[Hockeylife89]

I saw Folke Filbyter was mentioned again which I wrote about a couple of months ago. I can mention my favorite players again if there are any new writers here. What do you think about these players?
