6'0" 15-year-old centreman has paced right around where the best '07 Swedish-borns have been - scoring at a 1.5PPG pace in the Swedish u18 league. He is a player that has real good vision. He is already good at using his body to his advantage and posseses a good shot. Skating does need a bit of work but nonetheless will be an interesting player to follow going forward.

I'm not a fan of MoDo playing him full-time in J20 this season, I think it'd be more benefitial for him to either play full-time in J18, like Viktor Klingsell, or split between them, like Eric Nilson.

Part of a dominant line at Hlinka with Klingsell and Stenberg. 10 points in 5 games. He already clearly had a well-rounded base to build upon - wondering if there is an unlocked level of playmaking and vision here that could see him become another real blue chip prospect from this Sweden '07 group?

Very safe prospect. Samuel Påhlsson 2.0. Leadership, grit, strength, two-way game… but I do not see him as a big time scorer in the future. Late first round would make sense at this point imo.

Do you think he's better than David Edstrom?

Do you think he's better than David Edstrom?

Skill wise yes (skating, hockey sense, puckhandling). I see both having similar roles in the big league if they make it… i.e. Third line duty.

Gästrin is possibly the most allround/complete draft eligible Swede imo and does most things well.

Been practicing a lot with the mens team lately, and will be playing his first game in SHL today against Växjö. Starting on the bench as an extra fw though. We'll have to see if he gets any ice time.

Got to play in the first line with Ranta and Jasek in period 2 and 3. Really promising debut i gotta say. His playstyle translates really well.

Sounds like the prototypical Steve Yzerman pick. Welcome to the Wings Gastrin! Note: Not complaining, Stevie has had success in recent Swede picks so excited to see him eventually get drafted by the wings

Incredible in the faceoff circle. Better than Edstrom? I don't think so. Both are good defensively, but Edstrom is exceptional in his own zone. Gastrin is probably above average. Very similar skillsets though. Should be drafted anywhere from 20-40
