And it’s such and underrated aspect of an organization, because saving money on say a Pettersson over a Forbort or a Raty over a Blueger just adds that much more to the spend at the top of the lineup.

while he did impress me at WJC, I was a little worried when he didn't make the Orebro team and subsequently loaned away. turns out it was completely unfounded, and worked to his advantage in development.
Im still "wait and see", but hes been so obviously good out of left field that I dont know what to think, looks like there is no need for Braden Schneider afterall.

If he turns into a Ekholm we will probably have a top 3 defence in the league. The coaching staff is also best case scenario for him along with all the Swedish players on the team.

Very Nice, Very Evil!
It could be a case of him getting loaned to play a bigger role in Allsvenskan. Its a very competetive league.

5th overall.
His development is far ahead of Soucy at this point. Soucy didn't debut in the NHL until he was 23. He's tracking to be a top 4 D man.

And for that matter, Soucy didn't even really play in the NHL until 25.
I'd be very happy if he could turn into a Pesce-type. Would be quite valuable at 20-25 points per season plus excellent defense.

DPetey and Willander could be this team's version of Parayko - Pietrangelo
Injuries, playing under a dogshit development system (led by Desjardins at the NHL level and Green at the AHL level), then getting picked off waiver by the Leafs, who barely played him for like a year and a half at the age of 22-24 which was an absolutely crucial stage of his development to be getting games in at the AHL or NHL level.
Anyways, some places DPetey listed as 6’2, some places he’s 6’3 and some places he’s 6’4. Which one is it. If he’s really 6’4… that’s awesome.
Hockey DB currently lists him at 6'3" and 209.....but that site it notoriously slow to update the physical stats on NHL prospects.
To me he appears bigger than that out there. But regardless, at only 20-years old, I could easily see him playing at 215 or even 220 in his prime. He'd be positively 'beastly' at that weight.
Came close to getting his 1st career goal by hitting the post. Kid is just a tank out there. Players just bounce off him. His hockey sense is just so impressive.
This thread is awfully quiet for how well DP has been playing.
Dude is a f***ing stud.

D-Petey is essentially the player I hoped Jett Woo would turn into when he was drafted.
Thank god he turned out, the future of our back end was looking tragic.

I am surprised how physical he is. He rubbed Boldy out along the walls relatively easily last game.
Smooth skating, shot blocking and solid hits. He needs to work on his shot but theirs a lot to like that’s for sure. He also seems to have a knack for picking the right times to pinch and the right time to get back to his own zone.
Got 2nd pairing potential all over him.
Cernak/Larsson being his ceiling would be amazing. Douglas Murray being his floor would also be amazing.

Absolute bullet off the post for his first almost. Kid is outstanding with such a rare skillset.
Wonder where he goes in a redraft.

Kid is the real deal. 2nd pair upside is not a stretch.
His composure and decision making impress me the most.
There are a lot of big toolsy defencemen that handle the puck like a grenade and prevent them from being more than a 6/7 dman.

Bieksa? 5th rd.
Edit- Edler 3rd rd
Of course there’s Forsling 5th rd but we all know Jimmy boy big brained himself with that one.
