Confirmed with Link: Axel Sandin-Pellikka signs three year entry level contract

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Feels like his concerns can be summed up as: why does ASP not play NHL level defense/why does ASP not already have NHL level speed? His tone in the first half of the video makes all that stuff sound like a choice ASP is making, rather than a deficiency he's actively working on. I'd prefer he phrase it more like, "oh, he's still got to work on that, but I see the foundation."

Then he puts all that time into critiquing those two aspects, but then he kinda... gets bored and realizes he doesn't want to maintain that level of incredibly fine grain detail because the video would be super long, so his praise is very sweeping and general from that point on. Like, oh yeah, he's just a very good offensive player."

ASP is just playing down to his level and opponent, ain't no thing when he comes over here, he'll dominate

 

[heyfolks]

I am no selling the guy as the end all of beginning all but I appreciated a focus on ASP for the group to see/review/comment. Gap control, bodying up, tendencies, shot selection and frequency, etc are all good things to judge his development.

Idk how you manage to make a 30 minute ASP video that boring, that’s a talent

 

[Gniwder]

Yeah, just not personally a fan of the guy. I watched him try to find holes in Owen Power's game for a year that did not exist. I watched him use a random shift to try to quantify Rossi's skating. I think he does some goofy stuff and I don't agree with him too often. But to each their own. I think he does put a lot of time into it and I can understand others enjoying his content.

As far as ASP's skating I would call it good. I think it is definitely good enough at his size and I am not worried about it.

Well, he's basing his opinions on one game, so super small sample size. If he analyzed the last 2 Wings games with the same criteria, he'd be convinced the Wings don't have any NHL capable defenseman after Ed got hurt....

This video tells me ASP will need at least one season in GR to adjust to NA ice and physicality, but we already knew that's gonna happen anyways.

impregnable defense. our team will never get pregnant

Luke Witkowski just signed with Skellefteå... they are losing their minds there.

He was already useless in Finland at last season.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

2 assists so far today. MBN has one as well.

 

[schuelma24]

18 points in 20 games now. Looking good to break the U20 SHL scoring record

Could Witkowski teach ASP some physicality stuff?

It would make a pretty special specimen if that defense ever got pregnant.

we just clone here

I'm quite willing to bet none of these dmen will ever get pregnant

 

[newfy]

Hes got pretty ,much the same points per game in Sweden as William Nylander did at the same age. The same Nylander that's a multi time 40 gaol scorer in the NHL...... ASP is a dman

 

[Realgud]

It's absolutely wild that he's leading his entire team in scoring at 19 years old as a defenseman. Has that ever happened in the SHL before?

Lundkvist was close. 1 point back at 19.
