They've all commited to staying with Djurgården(unless the team drafting them has a different idea). Should be good, Allsvenskan is a good league for development and the forwards Djurgården have signed are defensive forwards so they should all get offensive roles.
Have you been able to catch some more recent games than SHL games where he played a limited role(and was obviously outmatched physically as he needs to bulk up, will be interesting to see what he weight in at the combine) and the Hlinka yet?
Leagues ahead. Only thing Karl had over current Noah is that he was more grown into his frame. Noah is quite a bit taller than Karl was then(and now) too.
Grant McCagg is an absolute joke. He's all about hot takes to gererate clicks. Human clickbait.
I don't agree with this at all, I think a lot of his work is based on inputs from pro scouts. It's pretty obvious, for instance, that he was quite close with the scouting staff of the Canadiens who have given him feedback on their lists and player rankings.
You really are mad he doesn't like Wright eh.
He uses former scouts right now. I really think this draft is very hard to predict, lots of good players not alot of superstars.
Think we’re going to see Lemkerimaki break the top 10. He does a lot of things with pace and it’s not out of the question he can play C. He’s gotten a lot better this year both playing in space and creating his own space. He reads the ice really well. Detroit, Buffalo and Anaheim will have a tough time passing on him, and although I think Columbus will go D, could see him go to them to compliment the two forwards they drafted early last year. He’s going to be a good NHL player, with a chance to be really good. Depending on what his draft team thinks about him playing C, look for him to spend next year in Europe and then an entire year in the AHL if a team thinks he will be a C. Probably only 25-50% of that 2nd year in the AHL if he settles in as a wing.
A lot better. Henriksson was a product of Raymond and Holtz playing for Sweden, and Raymond playing for Frolunda. Henriksson probably has a similar two way game and playmaking, but is worse in every other aspect of the game.
That's just really heavy recency bias.
Lol No offence but they’re not even on the same planet I think Karl Henrikssons upside is a middle sixer, while Östlund is probably the swedish prospect with the mot upside this draft.
Other than being speedy, Swedish and a little small, I don’t see it. They both have nice stick handling too I guess.
I don't disagree, I meant more that their elite quickness (feet and hands) are remarkably similar, and they are of similar builds.
