Yea we aren't afraid to reach for the guys we like, I do have to give props to our amateur scouts they can find talent

Remind me, what do we think the plan is for him next year SHL/Roch? Either way, he's going to be a brute against WJC competition. He already was last edition.
I hope our development guys are encouraging him to play with an edge. If he continues to bake that into his game, he's a guaranteed multimillionaire with his skating/hands/nullifier traits.

I would prefer SHL instead of the beatdown in the AHL. They don't tend to do the things I would though.

I tend to agree. His role and comfort at Malmo seem ideal for another year of development. Plus it doesn't look like the forward prospect glut at Roch is any closer to clearing (also adding Ostlund).I would prefer SHL instead of the beatdown in the AHL.

1 more year at the shl level isn't uncommon probably would only need 1 year at the ahl level after that

Like it. He's no where near NHL ready, but I am ready for him and Ostlund to develop in Roch (Savoie too).
His neck and Kulich's chin are made for each other.

Win for Rick

What's the reason he's coming over now? I thought he was penciled in for another season in SHL next year?

His season in europe is over
He said that he will decide after the season what he will do. How the games in AHL “feel” will influence that decision.

Not entirely up to him since he's not a 1st round pick. My guess is that Malmö and other teams still will release players if they want to leave but you never know.

"I'm a big guy."
Yes, Anton, you are.
Also on center or winger: "I'll play where the coach puts me."
Yes he is.
Speaking of size. I don't watch much of the Amerks, but did last night. Novikov looks like he's going to be a tank when he fills out. Super excited to see a Novikov-Komarov pairing.
