Kid would be drafted a couple round higher if he was doing this a few months ago.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Should be on the radar for 04's-WJC, but we have good d's in that class

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

It probably helps that his dad is Leksand's GM. Should help him get into SHL games.

 

[Son of Petter]

The wings drafting well in Sweden, whoda thunk it?

 

[Cake Eater]

Reports are he’s looking good at the WJC summer showcase

I really hope him and Albert Johansson make the wings down the line. Mickey might have a stroke but it would be entertaining

Probably time he starts getting his props. Kid is having a really good season in the SHL at 19, and will be one of Sweden’s top defenders at the upcoming World Juniors. Already has an NHL frame too at 6’4” pushing 200lbs.

His all around game is what’s going to see him be an important fixture on this year’s team. He’s shown (in the SHL) that his emergence this past summer for Team Sweden was no fluke. He wins battles along the walls, and moves the puck quickly. Plus he’s a threat in the offensive zone.

He’ll be a player to watch later this month. Good chance people will start asking the inevitable question. When does he make the jump to North America?

When does he make the jump to North America?

D+4, just like Wallinder and Albert Johansson. So one year more in SHL.

hi thomas

3+3=6 in 23 games so far. On pace for ~15 points. Not bad at all for a 19 year old defenseman in the SHL

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Curious as to where people view him at this point.

On the plus side, he is skating in the SHL as a 19-year-old and won a silver medal with Sweden at the WJC.

Conversely, he is averaging less than 14 minutes ice time (7th among Leksands defensemen) and had no points in seven games in Gothenberg; playing few minutes in Sweden's tougher games.

 

[Cake Eater]

At this point? Exceeding his draft position by a couple rounds. Doesn’t mean he’s gonna make it but he’s certainly improved his stock.

 

[saska sault]

Signed to an ELC by the Wings and coming over. Expectations? Can we hope to have 2 Johansson's in Detroit at some point on the back end?

 

[WingsToPick4th]

I think he will be a long term bottom pair RHD
Seider on the top pair, ASP 2nd and Johanson on the 3rd

What makes you think that Johansson will turn into an Nhler? This is not Albert Johansson btw.
