As expected he made the Czech Hockey Games roster. Will be interesting to see if he gets one of Raymond, & Berggren on his wing, or both!

Maybe he will, when he gets stronger and faster.
He should. Who else? Pår Lindholm, Jacob De la Rose, Oscar Lindberg? None of this guys have the skills of Leo.

Will center Raymond, & Zetterlund on Sweden's top line against Switzerland tonight, has also been practicing with those guys.

And that's his first apple on a Raymond goal, on the PP.

Feels like he’s the most underrated from all the top 5 prospects.

still trying to trust the yzerplan
Please let destiny bring him to Detroit
Well.. playing with a solid top 6 NHL-forward in Raymond today. He was still the best player on the team. If anything having better linemates elevated him even more. Whats also impressive is the fact that Carlsson has hardly played center all season, still Hallam sees something his Örebro coach didn’t and puts him at center at a higher level of competition and he just excels.

No way he goes later than 3rd imo. There should be teams who have him 2nd.
I can see a scenario where a team takes the chance on Michkov and Fantilli goes before Carlsson. But all this talk about how Smith is now in the same tier as Carlsson cause of the U18 bump, I don't buy it. I think if the choice is between Carlsson and Smith you have to take the former.
And of course this could turn out to be a really stupid take when we go back and review these threads in five years, but still. As of now I don't see any good argument for Smith over Carlsson.
That's how CBJ feels about any of the top 3
15 or so guys with the upside of being the best player CBJ has ever drafted…they should be okThat's how CBJ feels about any of the top 3
So this is the next 2003 draft?15 or so guys with the upside of being the best player CBJ has ever drafted…they should be ok
Absolutely…a generational superstar, 3-4 potential superstars, 10-15 more potential all stars, 45-60 guys with a case for being a first round pick…this draft has 2003/2015 written all over it!
Surprising tidbit where it’s such a strong crop, but it seems like the worst D crop in a long time, specifically from the NA countries. Some D with valuable upside, but no one that projects to be an all star or anything.
Eh, KJ has more upside than a lot of the first, and the work ethic to go with it. Jiricek as well.15 or so guys with the upside of being the best player CBJ has ever drafted…they should be ok
The top 5 I agree though. This pick has the possibility to alter the franchise. It's not only the talent level of the potential prospects, but the situation they are being drafted into. The main base of the core is already on the roster. Just imagine Bedard/Carlsson/Fantilli being paired with Gaudreau from day one.
If you’re willing to concede an unproven 20 year old is already the best, sure. You’re probably right, but I was thinking more Rick Nash

He's gonna be playing with Silfverberg for Team Sweden so he's gonna learn about the city his most likely NHL team plays in via Silfverberg. Silf will be like having a scout on the team lol.

He'll be playing on a line with Raymond. Rumors (source: me) say Carlsson will refuse to sign with anyone other than Detroit.
