Prospect Info: #63 Fabian Zetterlund (C/RW)

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Seems like a complete steal

how did he look in the 3 nhl games he played this season? can he take a regular spot?

Eventually I think he can be a good bottom-6 guy. He looked fine given the opportunity he got, but he still needs more seasoning imo. His AHL season is looking good though.

4 points in 8 NHL games. Is he playing physical?

Looks like he belongs. Solid two-way game and fitting nicely with Hischier.

 

[HersheyBob27]

I am not impressed by his audition. Too often standing still and not seeming to process the game at an NHL level. Medicore skater at best

 

[Omar Little]

He will need to improve his skating and also play more physical if he wants to stick around. He shouldn't think of himself as a 30 goal scorer (even if thats what he is at the AHL). In the NHL he will need to play through the body and heavy on the forecheck to stick around

He has been fine, but I wouldn't say he has fitted nicely with Hischier. I think Hischier would be more efficient if he had better linemates. Zetterlund has potential, but his positioning could be better and in many situations he is a little bit late. If he develops more, he can take the roster spot next season.

I highly doubt his point was that he should be with Nico next year. If Z makes the team next year, it’ll 100% be in a bottom-6 role.

Big Z hype

hey Bob hope you are blessed today sir

Damn you. I was just coming in to dunk a little.

Been good?

He’s been excellent on the top line with Hischier and Tatar. He’s going nowhere. He’s a bull in a china shop with a good shot and decent passing ability. Ruff and the staff clearly trust him which is a great sign.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Been good?

Good would be an understatement. He’s a really complete player, perfect with Nico. He’s surprisingly quick considering the beef he’s carrying around.

Is he physical?

 

[HBK27]

Remember a couple months ago when people were worried he might get waived and claimed by another team?

 

[Clam Jensen]

Is he physical?

He doesn’t necessarily seek physicality, but if someone tries to run him, it’s like hitting a brick wall.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Is he physical?

Not overly physical but he knows how to use his body to his advantage.

 

[Devs3cups]

I always liked Zetts, but I thought he’d for sure be in a bottom-6 role to start the year. Kid has taken the opportunity and ran with it. He looks so good with Nico.

 

[Oneiro]

Didn't get it exactly right but c'mon. Give me your money.

 

[HenriquesJawLine]

This swedish meatball will be a fixture for years to come, kinda like Hornqvist without the douchebaggery

 

[Guttersniped]

I didn’t think they would waive him but I would have taken it badly if they did.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Seems like a player who really put in the work to develop and continue to grow and get better.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Remember a couple months ago when people were worried he might get waived and claimed by another team?

Definitely didn't want to see that happen...This team put a lot of time and patience into his development and it's good to see it paying off for both player and team.

 

[Blender]

Love his skillset and don't think he's close to peaked yet.
