C David Edstrom - Frölunda HC, SHL (2023, 32nd, VGK; traded to SJS; traded to NSH)

[coooldude]

Let’s see if he actually sticks with the VGK. They have a history of trading away their 1st round selections…

Look at this guy! Nice one.

As a tradition, Vegas does not keep their first round pick in the end.

Brendan Brisson must feel like such a loser right now.

Edstrom is going to be the next William Karlsson (Wild Bill). But for Shars now instead. His 200-foot game is impressive for his age in SHL. Will be interesting to see if he can upgrade his play this upcoming playoff.

Why should they with their longevity in this league. There a man amongst boys in this league.

Just the son of an agent, probably not an accident

No one wants this guy or what? Was disappointing at WJC and now traded 2 times in a handful of months

 

[Juxtaposer]

I like this player but there is zero top-6 upside in my opinion. Could be a solid #3. I've been kinda treating him and Filip Bystedt equally in my mind but I think there's an outside chance that Bystedt could be a 2C and I don't think that's there for Edstrom. Still, a 3C in Edstrom's mold has value. Size, two-way play, not a black hole offensively.

why?

 

[Juxtaposer]

why?

I don't see the offensive talent to score at a top-6 level in the NHL. But that's just one person's opinion, just because I say so doesn't mean anything.

 

[VeteranPresence]

I mean this is a Trotz player through and through, so not surprised they prioritized him in a deal for Askarov. I do agree the offensive upside looks a bit limited right now but a big 3C who can play both sides of the puck is never a bad thing.

7 holy games which decide the career! 3 pts in 7 as an underage 3rd liner is horrible

Exactly, Edstrom is very projectable and you always need guys like that in your lineup. I would be surprised if he isn't at least a very good 4C.

 

[Garl]

Edstrom and Bystedt are kinda similar, so he was expendable for the Sharks

 

[Soundgarden]

Feels like another Schaefer type project, hopefully one of them makes it.

 

[coooldude]

I loved you in the prospect game, David. Godspeed.

I do think the kid still has solid potential for a depth C.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

I see Edstrom as a potential 20-20 big body guy who can run a top PK unit.

kind of tired of nashville always drafting these boring ass prospects

Gonna have to bottom out if you want anyone extremely exciting.
