Axel Sandin Pellikka Signs Three Year Entry Level Contract

[Henkka]

Is there a chance for ASP to play the IIHF WC or is team Sweden to stacked?
MBN should be with Norway like last year.

Could think Sweden will get a lot of NHL guys for the home tournament, because it's in Sweden/Denmark. And Pellikka will fall out.

Could think Edvinsson and Johansson are more probable, if Detroit will be out of the playoffs. Then they have Samuelsson, Dahlin at Buffalo, Karlsson at Pittsburgh, Larsson at Seattle, Broberg at St. Louis etc. to pick for.

Smaller ice would do him wonders where he needs to refine his strengths against better players here

The AHL is not better than the SHL.

Hurry up and lose Skelleftea. We need ASP and MBN over right now. Give ASP Holl's spot right away and the Griffs could really use MBN as a reinforcement right now after losing Mazur(injury) and Shine(big club).

The absolute best thing for both their developments would be if they helped Skellefteå win another championship.

 

[Henkka]

The AHL is not better than the SHL.

Yeah, it's not any better. It's just different with the different board play in narrower rink.

Good to experiment that already after the season, no matter how long the Swedish season will be. AHL-season will last longer, and they will do that amateur pro try-out deal for him. Any extra games and experience from NA rink just makes him better.

I think you may be misunderstanding me here

AHL ice surface is the same as NHL, which is best suited to have players playing their game with less ice to work with as they prepare for NHL duty

ASP may very well be that player to go right from Skelleftea to the NHL. MBN maybe not

Then again, MBN is already used to the small surface.

if he really has that dog in him and ends with the team

Chiarot-Sieder
Ed-ASP
Gus-Johanssen

Sign a LD that’s better than Chiarot and move him to 3rd pair and we’re a lot better. That is best case scenario with ASP development going like Mo and Ed’s and why wouldn’t it? Calgary’s defensmen intrigue me. We need a guy like Andersson that can skate has size and put up 40ish points he was my target all year than realized he was right handed

 

[SCD]

Skelleftea lost 6-2. One step closer to Detroit.

is he getting the call up or what
