Confirmed with Link: Canucks draft D Hugo Gabrielsson, (6th Round, 169th Overall)

I'm not so sure about this pick. He's not big and doesn't fit into the mould of Dmen we have been picking (smooth skating Dmen who can transition the puck well). The scouting reports I have read of him so far suggest he is inconsistent in many aspects of his game. He's not considered a good defender (passive even) or have a high hockey IQ. Seems like average tools with questionable toolbox to me. Completely different impression than the one I had of Persson when we picked him.

Can you tell us a bit more about him?

Backhands the puck like Crosby. Has the hockey IQ and playmaking of Wayne Gretzky, skating not that great think of like Jake Virtanen. Played defence against men in Sweden and was more productive than Lidstrom was at his age. Surprised he drop so low :huh:
 
Side note but he was apparently Evidssons partner. I think the Canucks were targeting Evidsson and had a scout camped out there to watch every game
 
Had him in my top 85, I noticed him when scouting Edvinsson. Has good upside, really good pick for where canucks got him.

Wow. Crosby’s back hand, Gretzy’s hockey IQ and playmaking, and more productive than Lidstrom? How is his forehand and how does he defend?

He is smaller but scored at a much higher rate than Evidsson with many more PIM's as well. I have never seen him play but he must have been on the pp ahead of the 6th overall pick. That is something.
 
Is Gabrielson now any kind of prospect at all? He plays in the Allsvenskan, a league some will tell us is roughy equivalent to the ECHL. He turned 22 a couple of months ago.

Counting stats: 26gp: 3/12/15

That about doubles his pace from last year. It puts him first in points for defencemen on his team (Nybro Vikings), third in the league for scoring by defencemen under 23 (first in that category for points per game).

6'1", 172 lbs.

Probably not. Blomstrand probably told him that you can score 30 goals and not get a sniff of the AHL.
