Worth nothing that Ryan Fitzgerald has 5 goals in 5 games for BC (6 points total) and is looking much improved this year.
Who's he playing with?
Blidh continues to impress in Frolunda. Becoming an excellent penalty killer. You guys are about to get P.J. Axelsson 2.0 with physical play and agitating qualities.
he centers zach sanford and austin cangelosi on what is considered BCs top line as they start most games.
This is quite promising so far. Best Dmen on their teams already at such young ages!Johansson is pretty much the number 1# defender on his team right now. The team that is leading the SHL by the way. As mentioned before; he is rock solid. He has put up some really nice passes lately and should have had more points by now if his teammates only had done their job. I've started to suspect that what is holding his offense back is his defensive compadres, earlier Chris "The turnover" Campoli and right now (as Campoli is out with a concussion) the old timer Petrasek who is twice the liability in the own zone as Campoli is.
- Basically, Johansson spends A LOT of time cleaning up for his teammates. However, when given the opportunity he has been willing to join the forwards on the rush and attack the net a bit more in the last games.
In the first 13 games, I cannot recall a single time that he has been caught out of position.
About Arnesson, I've only seen him live once but will get to see him again in a couple of weeks. He looked good when I saw him, great defensively. The fans of the team Djurgården consider him to be their number 1# defender as well.
A nice fact:
Emil Johansson and Arnesson ranks as number 2 and 3 when it comes boxplay minutes per goal against.
Johansson concedes on boxplay goal per 24:43 minute played, Arnesson 22:02.
Their teams rank 1 (HV71 94%) and 2 (Djurgården 89%) in the BP statistics after 13 games.
Sadly, there is no "shot blocking" statistic in the SHL, these guys would have been candidates for the top 20 for sure. Another fun fact is that HV71 only allows 1 shot against per boxplay.
It is quite unusual to have 18 and 20 year olds as leading defenders in the SHL, at least when it comes to defensive defenders. You really hit the jackpot with these guys.

I think he got hurt the other day. Only 3 minutes of ice time in hv71s last game, can't find anything on it though.

Are you sure that's accurate? He got a penalty with a little over six minutes to go in the game, so that would be strange.
Really didn't like the Donato pick and the early returns are not changing my mind any.

Have you seen him play?
I haven't...but the scouting reports seem to be glowing on the kid by people who have.
I liked the pick originally but have since soured(not a fan of him playing for Dad) didn't someone say here or elsewhere that he was doing well with the U-18 USNDT?
