No we don't. Nordgren is more Zuccerllo and less Sheary. Hes small but thick and plays in the trenches.
The old NN played like a puff too.

Good skater, versatile, hard working, good in all three zones.
From reading the thread about him on the prospect board, consensus is he's probably better on the wing.

Blond hair, blue eyes, nice rack.
He will attend the summer WJC camp in the start of July. From reports and mock lineups he looks locked in as a top 6 forward.
Anyone know why he was left out of the U18 team this year?

Well when Sundqvist came onto the scene he reminded many people of Jordan Staal-lite. Big body who was defensively reliable, albeit slow
Then it seemed injuries hit and he never really recovered
Lack of real talent hit. Guys like that have a very thin edge between effective and unusable.
I saw a bit of Hags in there as well. Speed and tenacity on the forecheck, decent hands, but doesn't seem like the type to stickhandle around guys often. As a net front he reminds me as a hybrid between Guentzel and Hornqvist. He can make some of the tips and net front plays Guentzel does, but not as well, and he can jam away like Horny does, but not quite as nasty. he had some nifty net front plays in that highlight video. He does already look to be a much better passer than Hornqvist though, and Hags for that matter. I know that's not saying a ton, but his passing from the video posted looks pretty decent. I should also say my viewings are limited to that video, highlights, so take this with a grain of salt.
Speaking Moistly
What a terrible image.
The league going more towards speed probably sealed the deal.

The thing with "Sunny" was that we read more about what he could do than see what he could do as there wasn't enough footage of his style of play, just a lot of 2nd hand information. For this kid, youtube is more available, we can really see what his game is like more now than we could with Oskar.

My Swedish is a little rusty, but I believe it is pronounced like "Hoe-llander".

He can grow into a 200 foot type forward with some size as he matures that Pens are in short supply. I do think GMJR has to realize no more trading of picks. Pens need to really rebuild the farm here. Lack D men and have Louzon if healthy as a potential player. Add in this years pick and it is a start.

I just got a ton of game tape on Timra, and I don't think that is the case at all. He kinda skates like Jordan Staal. He's skating really fast but it looks like he's in slow motion because he's so rangey.

I'm not sure what kind of game he really plays as I have never watched him, nor have I alluded to him playing a simple game. He does seem like a "meat and potatoes" type of player though.

What I like about him is it sounds like he plays a simple game really really well. A lot of those meat and potatoes guys tend to have holes in their game but it sounds like he can skate, shoot, pass and think.
People are always grading potential by sheer kill and athleticism. There's too many top six guys who'd never get there on those grounds but are there because they think and are fearless and do the simple things better and harder than anyone else.
Hallander sounds like he's got the skill to be a bubble top sixer anyway, but has the intangibles to do it the other way I like that a lot.

Did not watch all the youtube highlights, when he goes to the net does he also get tips? or is it all those type of goals only from the youtube video?

He can score garbage goals of all varieties. And he's got the ability to do a little dangling and sniping as well. Someone jokingly said to me that he's the perfect combination of Hagelin and Hornqvist but honestly, that's pretty much accurate.
I kind of thought that as well from my very limited viewings. (Hornqvist/Hagelin hybrid)
